    This is great and definitely something you can use to help someone in a trauma emergency.

    But don't forget to practice CPR as well. The older you get the more likely you will be to perform CPR.

    The most common person on which you will perform CPR is an older family member.

    Most people do not perform adequate CPR. Remember to push hard and fast, and don't stop.

    If they aren't responding and aren't breathing, Start CPR

    Put your hands center chest at the nipple line

    You should be compressing 110-120 times per minute which is very fast. You should be pushing quite hard, enough to compress the chest 1/3 of the depth.

    Most arrests are primary arrests, so forget trying to do rescue breaths. Just compressions.

    Take a CPR class you could save a life.
