Germany, where else ;) I think it's actually required in most of the European Union. They mostly teach you how to do cardiac massage and mouth-to-mouth. This makes a lot of sense since it usually takes between 5-10 minutes for the paramedics to arrive on scene, which is simply too long for someone who doesn't breathe. The thing that I remember most from the course was this: "Don't be afraid to perform cardiac massage on someone that doesn't breathe even if you might hurt him (e.g. by breaking some of his bones), after all if you do nothing he's already as good as dead.". |
