| Well, rules are rules. Aren't EMT's required to continue cpr all the way to the hospital, regardless if the patient seems hopelessly lost or not? I suppose losing a head could be a sure give away to how the doctor or coroner might pronounce him, but then again, gotta follow procedure. quote: Originally posted by drtenb330: Chest compressions are done with a bit too much force??
Well, with a blocked airway, pressing too hard may result in that.

Required to do CPR except when there are obvious signs of death. Those signs are Rigor, lividity, decapitation. A medic can call it with direction from medical control. Usually after a set amount of time and 3 rounds of meds. |

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 |
