CPR DOES NOT REVIVE PEOPLE, IT KEEPS THEM ALIVE UNTIL THE DEFIB UNIT GETS THERE! FUCK! D:<
Correct and incorrect, while it doesn't work as miraculously as depicted in movies and other media, it's not too rare that CPR is enough to "revive" a person (so the statement that it doesn't is incorrect), it depends a bit on the circumstances, but it's correct that even if it doesn't "revive" them, just doing CPR until the medics show up with a defibrilator increases the likelyhood for survival significantly.

Yep. Defibrillators do exactly what the name says. They defibrillate a heart that has gone into fibrillation. And fibrillation is the state where a heart is still beating, but it's doing it out of order so while it's moving, it's not pumping any blood. By passing an electrical current through the heart, you force the entire organ into a momentary spasm so it can restart in the correct order.

As for the different kinds of CPR...

The 100 compressions per minute version. Yes, very much so done with the aid of a defib. If you have an automated emergency defib on hand, this is the version you use. Also, someone said this sounds very intense. Yes, it very much is. For that reason, this is usually done in groups, with people switching out every 20-30 compressions.

The other version works by triggering the body's natural reaction to having too much carbon dioxide in the blood. You see, our rate of respiration (how much we breathe) is throttled not by how much oxygen is in our blood, but instead by how much CO2 there is. The funny thing is we can get by with very little oxygen. It's the carbon dioxide that gets in the way of things by taking up red platelets that could be carrying oxygen instead. (Recall the incident with Apollo 13 where they had a momentary crisis where they ran out of CO2 scrubbers for the LEM and had to jury-rig the scrubbers from the Command Module to fit. They had plenty of O2, but too much CO2.)

The way this works is two-fold. The artificial respiration puts CO2-rich air into the lungs, while the chest compressions provide a tiny bit of blood circulation by compressing the heart. With any luck, the blood heavy in CO2 will reach the brain stem (the part that controls respiration) and cause it to hit the metaphorical panic button.

Also, CPR can be pretty traumatic. When it's being done properly, having severe bruising or even broken ribs are common occurrences. It's a very sucktastic thing to wake up to. This is the main reason why some perfectly healthy people have signed Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) forms - they'd honestly rather die than go through that experience.

From my most recent few first aid courses (I'm an occupational first aider in my company, have to take one every two years) 100bpm is rather high for chest compressions (it may not be harmful but good luck trying to keep that up for several minutes) and you don't do artificial respiration anymore (because getting the heart back in order is just higher priority, it takes some time for the brain to get damaged from lack of oxygen and the compressions get a bit of air into the lungs anyway).
Strange I just did a course myself at the end of last month they still say respiration is needed but not nessary and it comes down to if you are comfortable with it.... and oh fuck... the MC is now sick.... :notlikethis:

Well, once the heart stops, person is considered "Dead", but you can make the heart beat again with CPR (Tho it's not guaranteed it will work), so technically it CAN revive people.
It's a particuarly low chance, but it can happen.

Also, in the cpr course I took they said that artificial respiration wasn't done anymore rather because it is uncomfortable and can lead to legal trouble if the person sues you (it can and has happened to medical profesionals) than because it is useless. The paramedic who thaught me the course said that he and all the medics he personally knew usually carried a pocket-artificial-respirator with them wherever they went to be able to do the full cpr without being in danger of getting sued.

The artificial respiration is useful because after 5 minutes of the brain running on fumes (the remaining oxigen in the blood) neurological damage sets in, and you want to avoid that if possible, so artificial respiration along with cpr massage can extend that time for longer.

From my perspective they have religions based on males.
All the monkeys worship the tamer girl, and all the girls worship the MC (tamer girl included). It's a pyramid scheme.

Then you got the other dudes who are essentially ant drones who are most likely gonna die virgins while watching all the girls repeatedly get knocked up by the MC.

If I was any of them I'd probably just return to monke and die fighting a lion or some other predator with my bare hands.

I mean, what else to do? No internet, no b¡tches, no fun. 😔
