stupid article

I taught CPR for many years - Chest compressions do not depend on color, sex, pregnancy, or “gender expression”. Big boobs aren’t in the way, neither are fat bellys.

location of target - lower sternum, xiphoid process, “chest”, whatever you want to call it, matters.

Disco beat is it - Some organizations teach that you don’t even have to do breaths anymore- Compresssions are enough until The Pros arrive.

Best tip? command someone to call 911 first, before you even start.
