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 you see someone collapse unexpectedly this is usually the result of cardiac arrest. 1  Studies have shown that by doing chest compressions only, without mouth-to-mouth breathing, bystanders increase the personâs chance of survival. Follow these three steps to perform Chest-Compression-Only Resuscitation: Check for responsiveness - Shake the person and shout, âAre you OK?â Call - Direct someone to call 9-1-1 or make the call yourself if the person is unresponsive and struggling to breathe (gasping or snoring). Compress - Begin forceful chest compressions at a rate of 100 per minute. Position the victim back down on the floor. Place the heel of one hand on top of the other and place the heel of the bottom hand on the center of the victimâs chest. Lock your elbows and compress the chest forcefully; make sure you lift up enough to let the chest recoil.
