L0040669 Medicine chest of Sir Stanley Hewett, surgeon to the Ki

A tweet by one of my favourite all time authors, William Gibson, has pointed me to this article on the importance of continuous chest compressions in CPR. This matches the advice given in a lot of first aid training now. Make sure it’s safe to help, make sure an ambulance is called and get pumping that chest. Blood will stay oxygenated for a while so it is important to keep it moving.
