Would you still have to be certified to administer cpr? From my understanding of it, you have to keep getting re-certified every year to perform it.

That's an interesting point. I always thought the certification was simply paperwork that some companies or occupations require.

You don't actually have to have a certification to attempt to save someone's life. I suspect that some kid who watched any of those YouTubes or followed the link that Dave provided would be able to save someone's life even if they weren't certified.

Yah. People will sue any chance they get.

Some states have a law that protects the person giving cpr or first aid. Arkansas is one of those states.

Its called the "Good Samaritan" act. It protects you if you are trying to help someone.

You do not have to be certified to perform CPR, thats why 911 operators give CPR instructions over the phone.

The goal of CPR is not to restart the heart. The goal is to keep the brain perfused until the heart can be restarted either with drugs or defibrillation. But a precardial thump in a witnessed arrest can deliver up to 25j...FYI

They can sue but I believe the person is protected by good samaritan laws

I have to re-cert every two years at my gym. And every two years the friggin procedure changes. That's why whenever I see someone who's in need of CPR, I just casually walk to the bathroom or supply closet. I mean c'mon, I simply can't be bothered.
