Is Vinnie fighting the good fight?
The British Heart Foundation launched a new campaign promoting giving CPR Basic Life Support to Cardiac Arrest Victims. Their new advert shows Hollywood hard man Vinnie Jones giving only chest compression CPR to the rhythm of the Bee Gees classic “Stayin Alive”. The advert is specifically targeted at untrained members of the public to raise awareness that any CPR is better than no CPR, so even an untrained bystander can assist...that's who the advert is targeted at right ? But, now it's raising questions? We have had some enquiries asking whether there have been changes to first aid procedures as a result of seeing the new advert. The answer is no. Their current training protocol stands. If you have been formally trained you should continue to combine rescue breathing and chest compressions. Of course, if for any reason you feel unable to give the rescue breaths or forget what to do, then chest compressions alone can still help the victim until medical professionals arrive.
