And FYI for anyone reading this, mouth to mouth isn't really recommended anymore.
First call 911 or have someone else do it. Then start chest compressions for as long as you can. Switch off with another person if you need to. But keep going until paramedics arrive.
Usually, it would be you telling someone "call 911 right now" while you start chest compressions.
It's important to direct your command to a specific person rather than "someone" because of the bystander effect.
I did a course 2/3 weeks ago, highly recommend it.
First aid! I did a four day course many years ago and I still use the training in so many things. The final day we had to navigate a bus crash scenario and the part that stuck with me was the taking ownership and delegating roles when other people might be scared to act. I think it really instilled in me an ability to turn panic into action, and you can use the triage playbook in so many ways.
Love the Heart Runner system in Denmark and Sweden. Wish the US had something like that.
