Some people sweat more than others. To determine how much liquid to take during a run or race, you need to know your sweat rate, and that can vary between 1 to 4 quarts per hour. Weigh yourself nude before a timed training run, and then again after. One pound of weight loss equals 1 pint of water loss.
Purpose of CPR. Simply put, the purpose of CPR is to keep oxygen rich blood flowing to the brain and other vital organs if the heart or lungs stop working on their own. The primary function of the heart is to pump blood to the body and the primary function of the lungs is to fill the blood with oxygen. This is what sustains life.
Always call triple zero (000) in an emergency. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) combines mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and cardiac compressions to deliver oxygen and artificial circulation to an unresponsive person until medical help arrives. Cardiac or chest compressions are the priority in CPR. If you donât want to do mouth-to-mouth, chest compressions alone may still be life-saving. CPR is a life-saving skill that everyone should learn. This fact sheet is not a substitute for proper CPR training by an accredited organisation.
