Procedures for performing CPR

Procedures for performing CPR
On page 10 it mentions "The American Heart Association uses the acronym of CAB — compressions, air- way, breathing — to help people remember the order to perform the steps of CPR." This is good advice to remember the correct way to perform CPR on someone. If you can remember this then you have more advantage of saving someone who knows helps. -

Real life situation
A real life situation was when I was in elementary school and my school crossing guard jumped in front of a truck to save a student crossing the street. The truck stopped too late and hit our crossing guard and the school nurse went out and performed CPR to help her. She ended up not making it because it was a really bad hit.
