  Yeah. Effective compressions are more critical right away, especially if you’re alone. There’s some passive ventilation happening with the compressions.

  AHA teaches it now I believe.

    While that is true with humans, I’m not sure if that applies to Giraffes with such long windpipes

        So… I tried and let’s just say the Giraffe was not happy and I can tell you it hurts to be head butted by a Giraffe.

  Breathing IS part of effective cpr. It is absolutely recommended. Compressions alone are better than nothing, which is why we had a brief period where that was taught for one-person-cpr (and was meant to make nonmedical personnel more likely to do SOMETHING), but anyone trained in cpr should absolutely be following the compression:breathing ratio taught in cpr classes.
