Last night I made cupcakes with bacon bits in the batter and a few crumbles on top. Do these need to be refrigerated? If so, how long can they sit out? Of course I didn't think about this until after they were all done :)
Place two fingers at the tip of the breastbone. Place the heel of the other hand right above your fingers (on the side closest to the person's face). Use both hands to give chest compressions. Stack your other hand on top of the one that you just put in position. Lace the fingers of both hands together, and raise your fingers so they do not touch the chest. The compression rate is at least 100 compressions a minute. If you know CPR and are giving rescue breaths, give 30 compressions to 2 breaths.
If there is no pulse then the victim's heart is not beating, and you will have to perform chest compressions. When performing chest compressions, proper hand placement is very important. Place two fingers on the victim's sternum [show me] and then put the heel of your other hand next to your fingers [show me]. Now you need to place your hand on top of that hand [show me] and interlace the fingers [show me]. Lock your elbows and using your body's weight, compress the victims chest.
