Just an addendum, don’t hang up on the mouth to mouth. If it’s family etc., or you want to, then go for it. But the compressions are what’s vital at the time and some air movement will happen with good compressions. Don’t skip the compressions because you don’t want the mouth stuff. You can skip the mouth stuff for your safety.
Compressions force the blood flow. If you can keep some blood flow through the brain, almost everything else is survivable/fixable. Compressions are 100% vital. Brain tissue dies real quick without blood flow.
Also if you’re doing it right it is fucking exhausting manual labor so switch out every minute if you have another person available. And you will probably break some ribs, that’s just how it is.
