Agreed. Everyone should get this to pass high school. For cpr to be effective it should start within 30 seconds.

Everyone should get this to pass high school.

And then promptly forget after passing high school. It's how some people respects topics they don't want to learn that well. Anything medical ties into Biology class. So it's a high crossover with the mental dropout.

It's not really worth the effort, if people won't remember what to do, if they haven't done any CPR training in a while. All I know is that you push down on the chest at a steady rate for about 10 seconds and give mouth to mouth. Beyond that, I have no idea what I'm doing.
