Yeah it makes it much easier. It is the same for all pts. child to adult. My whole family just took cpr last month since the incident with my mom. They taught us 30 compression 2 breaths. If it is a complete stranger. Just do chest compressions. Too many diseases out there.

Also, if your unfortunate enough to be in the situation to perform CPR, don't beat yourself up if the patient doesn't respond.

I've probably performed CPR close to 200 times in my firefighting career and have only brought back 3 people. Odds are not good unless you've actually seen the patient go unconcious or have a defibulator handy (and paramedics get there quickly with follow up drugs). Most of the time the person is found after they've been missing a while (like in the bathroom or hasn't woke up at the normal time..). I've also never heard of someone coming back when the heart stops due to trauma (major injury) unless perhaps it's on the operating table.

Sorry for my depressing experience/opinion but I've always felt sorry for those that perform CPR (once in a lifetime experience) and then feel it may have been their fault that things did't turn out like in the movies.

I'm not discouraging anyone from taking classes and being prepared... heck, I hope someone knows it should they witness me going down;) You just never know if the victim will beat the slim odds.
