The simple answer is that snakes shed their skin because they are just like all other animals. All animals shed their skin â even you! In mammals, especially humans, this is an ongoing process that's rarely noticed. Skin shedding in reptiles is different. Instead of an ongoing process, reptiles shed skin periodically.
According to the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation guidelines, CPR involves chest compressions at least 5 cm (2 in) deep and at a rate of at least 100 per minute in an effort to create artificial circulation by manually pumping blood through the heart and thus the body.
In this simple usage, the rescuer is required to open the airway (using a technique such as head tilt-chin lift), then check for normal breathing. These two steps should provide the initial assessment of whether the patient will require CPR or not.
