Alive, but not for long =pThis week's a killer week. Killer whales had better take cover!
BCLS (Basic Cardiac Life Saving) is tiring! I was practically breathless after doing 30 (THIRTY!!!) compressions and I still had to blow air into the manequin's "trachea" twice before continuing with the same cycle 4 more times.
And Mdm Asmah made me do two-man CPR with Dorie. HAHAHA! It was fun! The only bummer was that I kept forgetting to check for the dummy's "pulse".
Side-note: Is the bottom part of the sternum called a xiphoid-process or a sternal notch?!
HELLO, HELLO! ARE YOU OK?! QUICK, CALL AMBULANCE-995!
-check for breathing; look, listen and feel- BREATHING ABSENT!
-check for pulse- PULSE ABSENT! COMMENCE CPR!
One and two and three and four and five and one and two and three and four and ten and one and two and three and four and fifteen and one and two and three and four and twenty and one and two and three and four and twenty-five and one and two and three and four and thirty
BLOW, BLOW!
-check for pulse- PULSE PRESENT
-check for breathing; look, listen and feel- BREATHING ABSENT! COMMENCE EMERGENCY BREATHING!
BLOW! two a thousand three a thousand four a thousand five a thousand (do this bloody routine 12 times!)
-check for breathing; look, listen and feel- BREATHING PRESENT!
-lay dummy in recurrent position-

Did I miss out any steps??
Shadow stepped, body touched, soul crashed at 11:15 am.
