The first thing you are taught in an class is call for help First. While checking for pulse, speaker phone, hit 911, alerting there is a code in progress, they can track your location.
Many of us here don’t just take a course, We have been performing CPR, on real people for decades. Someone who took a class, on Annie, and using it on a real person, keeping compressions, timing, and counting is another story.
That 911 call can get keep the person on track, maybe save a life. With all my experience, even I called 911, while checking pulse, on the person on a beach, with probable MI.
First reason, I know from years of experience I can correctly perform CPR for about 10-15 minutes. After that my life saving technique starts to go down hill. Do you stop, no, you continue until help arrives.
You never forget the first person, you saved, or the one you lost, for me a minute old newborn, that we lost.
Same with the last person you saved, and the last one you lost. But that is an ever changing memory
