Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Also that if you’re doing CPR alone don’t bother with the breaths, the chest compressions are more important - only do breaths with a second person so you can keep compressions going uninterrupted.

I took a class last year that said this. It was "Shock and Compress." The compressions are doing more good than worrying about breaths. And delegate someone to find an AED.

It felt a little silly taking that class given that I work for a health org, and I'm fully remote. The odds of my needing to know if seem pretty low, but you never know when it might be important.

I know a family where they all took CPR lessons after grandpa had a cardiac event at Christmas and the 14 yo granddaughter was the only one who knew CPR due to a babysitting course she took over the summer.

Sure, EMTs can walk you through the basics over the phone until an ambulance gets there, but that's much better as a reminder than a initial lesson.
