Press on their chest to cheat death


You learn something new every day.

Breathing breath into someone who has stopped breathing (to buy them a few precious minutes till doctors or paramedics arrive) used to be what we were supposed to do.

No longer.

It's all about chest compressions to get the air circulating (inside a person's body) until help arrives.

Turn your sound up and click here for a stunning (and important) video on how to do it.

Might be a matter of life and death.

Thanks very much, Dorothy, for bringing this to dear old dad's attention.
