Just concentrate on good compressions.
Sleep tight.
Came here from CPR training to say this
Are we saying that compressions on their own will draw in oxygen?
Yeah. Effective compressions are more critical right away, especially if you’re alone. There’s some passive ventilation happening with the compressions.
AHA teaches it now I believe.
While that is true with humans, I'm not sure if that applies to Giraffes with such long windpipes
Have we tried?
So… I tried and let’s just say the Giraffe was not happy and I can tell you it hurts to be head butted by a Giraffe.
sounds to me like resuscitation was successfull, then.
Thank you for your service o7

Breathing IS part of effective cpr. It is absolutely recommended. Compressions alone are better than nothing, which is why we had a brief period where that was taught for one-person-cpr (and was meant to make nonmedical personnel more likely to do SOMETHING), but anyone trained in cpr should absolutely be following the compression:breathing ratio taught in cpr classes.
OP just wants to kiss that long, blueish tongue
Maybe it just needs a kiss to turn red ♥️
