Are you CPR/First Aid certified? If so, do you carry around a "rescue breath mouth shield" with you everywhere you go? (lemmy.world)

I was just cleaning out my junk drawer and found my mouth shield in there🤦🏼‍♀️ A lotta good that would do me if I ever needed it and not only didn't have it, but had no idea where it was.

But really in all my years of being certified & re-certified, I've NEVER encountered anyone in need of rescue.

If we all carried around everything we could possibly need at every given moment for any possible unforeseen need, we'd all be hauling 20 ft long trailers 😆

I'm a minimalist and everywhere I go I bring as little as possible. Sometimes I bring nothing at all with me places I go. I really prefer to travel lightly.

I have been a CPR instructor and assessor

I won't bother with breathing for someone I'm doing CPR on

Good to see constant compression has finally gotten so much mindshare.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 2 months ago

There's plenty of air being moved with compression, and the unfortunate reality is that lots of air just gets blown into the stomach anyway, and the vomit created isn't helpful
