~ Does the Good Samaritan Law protect me? Yes, if you are not a professional in the medical field, and if you give assistance, including CPR, for a medical emergency Good Samaritan laws cover you.
~ Can I get AIDS from doing CPR? No. There has never been a documented case of AIDS transmitted by CPR.
~ When performing CPR, how do I know it is working? You can tell if the chest rises with ventilation.It is hard to determine if the chest compressions result in a pulse. Do the best you can and don't stop. It is better to perform CPR imperfectly than not at all.
~ What is the recovery position? Assuming the person has a pulse and is breathing, the recovery position means placing the person on his/her side. This allows for the person not to choke on saliva and helps keep the airway open. The downside arm may be raised to support the head.
~ When should I stop CPR? When help arrives to take over, or the victim starts to move.
~ What is the ratio of 2-person CPR? The ratio of chest compressions to mouth-to-mouth is the same for 2-person CPR as for 1-person CPR, 30 compressions to 2 breaths. 30:2
