Interesting - you don’t even check for a pulse. Hope people don’t start cracking ribs for someone who has just fainted.
Thanks for posting the info.
You don’t check for pulse anymore because so many people do it wrong. Instead, they teach you to check for “signs of life”, shake them, look for any type of movement, ask if they can hear you, etc.
Good point on the fainting. The knuckles to the chest bone, or a pinch to the ear using the tip of the index finger and the knuckle just back from the thumbnail are both a good reviver (works with passed out drunks).
