They had a seizure which I was able to deal with surprisingly because I've never had a deal with anything like that before. But then it got me thinking, what about CPR, could I do it correctly, would I be able to help somebody successfully? I've been looking at videos tonight on jewytube and it looks like the compressions have gone to 30 with two breaths, rinse repeat. But what I don't understand is I thought CPR was for if the heart stops not if there's irregular breathing? They just now check to see if the breathing is regular, if it's exasperated or clunky they say start CPR. I only thought you did it if there's no heartbeat? What say you first responders or EMT folks on here?
