Some addendums:

• CPR is an inherently violent act. The idea behind it is that you are manually pumping the heart for it, and the body has pesky thing called the ribcage that gets in the way of that. You will hear and feel the breaking of bone and/or cartilage if you're doing it right

• Giving CPR is an adrenaline rush. Expect a physical and emotional crash after. If the person giving CPR is trained there are a lot of disturbing things happening that won't be processed until later. Someone untrained might have a freeze response and/or panic

• Giving rescue breaths without tilting the head causes the air to go into the stomach rather than the lungs. This will cause the person receiving CPR to puke when compressions restart. Depending on what's going on they might puke anyway. It is not recommended to give rescue breaths without a rebreather mask due to the risk of infection, and compressions trump breaths anyway

• CPR is exhausting. Depending on how far away help is and how many people are available to rotate compressions, it is entirely possible for a person to be physically unable to do compressions long enough for an ambulance to arrive. Effective compressions are deep and fast, at 100-120 beats a minute. I was trained to do it to the rhythm of Another One Bites the Dust (yes, medical providers have a morbid sense of humor)

• You do not shock a flatline. The purpose of a defibrillator is to change an irregular, ineffective heart rhythm into a regular one. Drugs like epinephrine are used instead. Defibulators in public settings are easy to use and will give verbal directions, but someone unfamiliar with how they work might still do something wrong. In this case, the machine won't send a shock as it automatically reads the heart rhythm and will not discharge if it doesn't sense one

• Emergency services might have a machine called a LUCAS that automatically does CPR. It is unsettling to see in action, the inherent, intimate violence of trying to save a life turned perfect, impersonal, and clinical

• While CPR can go on for a long time, it is possible to revive someone with only a few compressions depending on what's going on. At the facility I work at we had someone come in for rehab after brain surgery who went down during therapy (I'm guessing some sort of vasovagal response). A nurse was right there and after like 3 compressions they sat up, Undertaker-style, gasping for air but otherwise fine. If you're writing a magic system that can cause someone to pass out and maybe die, having them be brought back this way is perfectly valid, particularly if they're otherwise young and healthy.

• Alternatively, it is also possible to code several times in quick succession after successful CPR. It all depends on the underlying cause and if its been treated

• A person who is receiving CPR is dead. Nothing you do will make them more dead, but giving fast, effective compressions might help bring them back. That leads to emergency providers doing some things in the name of speed that they might not otherwise consider, like yeeting someone off of a couch or bed to do CPR on the hard, flat surface of the floor

• If your story takes place in the past, know that open cardiac massage used to be the go-to when attempting to restart the heart. Somehow along the way humanity decided that cracking open the entire chest and manually compressing the heart was better than doing it from the outside. Naturally this limits who is doing the resessitation--though depending on your fic setting magic may be effective here--but take that previously mentioned intimacy and crank it up to eleven by having the recessitator literally holding a person's life in their hands (open cardiac massage is still used sometimes today in surgical settings, although it is more rare).

• Even if CPR is successful, which outside the hospital is about a 10% chance, the person who was revived is not going to be magically better, unless, of course, actual magic is involved. Chances of success inside a hospital setting jump to 20%. At the very least they will have broken bones, and depending on how long they went without oxygen could have permanent brain and/or cardiac damage, plus the end result of whatever caused them to have the cardiac event in the first place

my fellow fanfic writers, if you have someone who gives CPR in a fic, particularly if theyre going at it for a while, they are going to be sore for a few days after. The couple times I've had to do it it always was worst in my forearms. Every time they move, they're going to be reminded of what happened. There is underutilized potential for angst, please take it to your advantage.

I hate that these modules are strictly in video format without a corresponding power point or something. You can't throw 7 new terms at me in a 20 minute video and expect me to remember them for anything longer than the time it takes me to test out

For the first time in forever I’m highly motivated to write fanfic and am instead stuck doing wound care certification instead

This energy has been matched by the book of stories about Vegas and the Mob where the author included the story of his aunt and uncle’s vacation at the Flamingo.

picked up a book about my county’s local history at an estate sale, and it’s very funny going from the dramatic story of a murder and subsequent manhunt to that time a bunch of pigs got drunk while being driven to market
