The world’s most famous life-saving rescue technique could be worse than death in many cases, according to a new report.
Administering CPR — or cardiopulmonary resuscitation — to a cardiac arrest sufferer might seem like a no-brainer. However, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation could paradoxically cause more harm than good, according to a disturbing new NPR investigation.
“The bad experiences far outnumber the good ones, unfortunately,” Holland Kaplan, a physician and bioethicist, told the outlet about the so-called dark side of CPR. Not only is this revival method not as successful as portrayed on countless televised medical dramas — but it can leave many patients with lasting physical and cognitive impairments.

Most CPR students don’t realize to be effective you have to crack the ribs. They hear ribs cracking and they think they are doing something wrong. And the survival rate is less than 10%.
Why take this chance? Just let the person die.
New guidance for trained Good Samaritans says to Disco Pump and don’t do the Rescue Breathing.
Pick someone out of the crowd to call 911 first, BEFORE you start.
If heart is stopped, any little bit may help.
If they’re gone already , it won’t hurt.
CPR doesn’t require mouth-to-mouth anymore. I MIGHT read the rest of the article though.
Probably says stuff like “People that lived after getting CPR showed signs of increased heart problems, and instead of their usual recreational sports like tennis and skiing were resigned to a life of darts and shuffle board. They would have been better just left to die.”
You crack ribs, Morgan and Morgan will come to crack your bank account empty.
Much easier for "bio-ethicists" to sell the point to leave the patients to the morticians.

So, you think doctors actually attribute such things to the vaccine?
“but it can leave many patients with lasting physical and cognitive impairments”
Yeah, but they ain’t dead.
“You crack ribs, Morgan and Morgan will come to crack your bank account empty.”
Whatever happened to the days when if you saved someone, they owed YOU their life?
I’ve performed CPR three times in my life and all three times the person was pronounced dead when they got to the hospital. My father was a physician and he said it is rarely successful but worth trying.
“Just keep defibrilators everywhere you can.”
Can’t Elon Musk invent like a wearable difibrilator vest? Then the vulnerable people can just wear a shirt that says “Push this button to restart my heart ——>”
Just let them die and reduce the surplus population.
What surplus population? We have a deficit.
You will never convince the dims of that. Too many of us, just an enough of them.....
With that being said, three years ago in my senior softball league, a pitcher on one team collapsed on the mound when his heart just stopped beating.
Fortunately there were retired fire fighters on site from both teams that performed chest compression on him and kept him alive till the EMS arrived.
Turns out, the guy never had any cardiac events in his life but this was a genetic anomaly where his heart just stopped beating for no reason at all........Apparently his sister did die 30 years prior from the same condition.
You need to go back and visit Ebeneezer Scrooge in a Christmas Carol (before he was visited by the three ghosts). Bah Humbug..
That's it exactly. I understand that CPR is oversold in movies, but the article oddly does not point out that the alternative is death.
If the alternative is a life of being crazed about pickle ball, then yes, I can see why death might be preferable.
