The mouth to mouth part is no longer medically advised, in favor of effective chest compressions.
You now only have to think about how you’re going to perform effective chest compressions on an animal whose anatomy you don’t understand at all (or even if you’re supposed to do them to begin with), and, assuming you should do them, keep doing them until a veterinarian qualified to resuscitate a giraffe can be flown in from thousands of miles away.
Good news! You got this. Have fun!
Instructions unclear, am now in charge of zombie 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.
What’s the fun of CPR if no mouth to mouth. Might as well just die together.
You could do CPR on the giraffe and then go to sleep later. It doesn’t have to be one or the other
Or the other way around. The giraffe isn’t going anywhere
Lmao the heart is 0,6m long and beats at 170 bpm. At least your soundtrack will be lit!

Here you go! 💀
Can’t be problem solving and sleeping. When I catch myself, I just try to think about something I’m observing instead.
Another bites the dust! Clearly the best way.

Just concentrate on good compressions.
Sleep tight.

Are we saying that compressions on their own will draw in oxygen?

Maybe it just needs a kiss to turn red ♥️
