I subscribe to the theory that there is a fixed amount of intelligence on the planet, and you get your share at birth : the ancient Greeks produced so many great thinkers because there were less people to share the intelligence among.
The creative flowering after the plague decimated europe is now obvious : the survivors' children got a bigger share of the intelligence pie.

stupid question.
I was playing with a fancy defibrillator and simulator the other day which reminded me of something ive always wondered.
After a shock and simulated pulse it said perform CPR. Now clearly there was a pulse and now it was asking you to push on the chest.
So the question is can you perform cpr out of sink. What happens if you are pushing on the hear when its wanting to go the other way.
just general CPR, what happens if a by-passers checks for pulse misses one thats there and starts pushing out of sink. are they likely to do more harm then good?

Why would you do CPR if there is a pulse?
You just need to do artificial respiration no?
don't know thats what it said to do.You just need to do artificial respiration no?
there was a simulated pulse in tachycardia it said perform shock. so i shocked the pulse then stabilized but was weak it said perform CPR.

possibly to maintain a stable rhythm?
thats what i thought but just wondered if you could be out of sync Pesty said:

I could be wrong, but a defibrillator isn't used to start a stopped heart. It is used to regularise a heartbeat that is going berserk.I was playing with a fancy defibrillator and simulator the other day which reminded me of something ive always wondered.

I'm no doctor, but judging by the fact most fast food places in NYC have a defibrilator, I can't see it being too hard to use!
Defib's (the ones the let the public use anyway) are pretty much idiot proof, they have audible instructions, pictures and are completely automated - they even know if someone's holding onto the person getting shocked and won't 'fire'.And no, they won't work if the heart isn't beating they just shout "no shock-able rhythm detected - commence CPR" or something like that.
Someone who actually knows will be along shortly but I can tell you that they have been used to make the wires more visible to birds.
Someone I know who runs a shoot had a set of high voltage wires that ran over a drive. The birds would crash into the wires killing themselves (it almost cuts them in half). He phoned the electricity company and they installed those discs. Apparently the birds aslo potentially damage the wires (not sure how) so they were as keen to avoid it as the estate owner.
