“This is the first I heard that TM was still alive, how did I miss that?!”
A few days ago someone here said the cops/EMT’s should not have performed CPR with chest compressions if he was still alive.
Yes, I remember that.
This testimony is difficult, his speech is grating to me.
Anxiously awaiting MOM’s cross and all the objections being sustained ;-)
I would have used BREATHS only with no chest compressions. I would be afraid of poking a broken rib through the lungs. There may well have been a “sucking chest wound” as others stated before me.
I would have either had someone else try to cover the chest wound as I gave breaths, or would have tried to do so myself.
YES, I have given full CPR twice, with no equipment, by myself. You toss out the “textbook” in trauma cases, each case is different.
