Health- Monday- 3rd period
The desks and tables had all been moved today, and in the class were some dolls on the floor.
"This is the last thing we're going to do in first aid," Claire assured them. "There might come a time that you're dealing with someone who's totally unconscious, and not breathing. Their heart might not be beating. Considering the crazy sh- stuff that happens in this town and some of your worlds apparently, you might want to look into getting an actual certification in CPR, where they'll teach you more. But these days, it's recommended that if you don't know what you're doing, you should stick with chest compressions. So that's what we're going to do."
Claire knelt next to one of the dummy." Meet Annie. She's a dummy designed for training in this. You're going to practice on her, and she'll actually tell me how you did. So here's the right way to do it. First, make sure they're out by asking if they're okay. Do not do CPR on anyone who's awake. If you have other people around, have someone call 911 while you start compressions. If you don't, call before starting them. Put the victim on their back, and kneel next to their neck and shoulders, right here. Place one hand exactly like this in the center of their chest, and place your other hand on top of it," she said, demonstrating. "Keep your elbows straight, and lean so that your shoulders are above your hands. You want to use all your upper body strength to push down, at a rate of 100 compressions a minute. There's a really good chance if you do this you'll break the person's ribs. But like last week, better a broken rib than a death, so do what you can. You'll keep this up until there's some sign of movement, or until emergency personnel show up. If you're trained in CPR, then you can also add rescue breathing.
"Got it? Grab a dummy, and get to work."
