The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

It probably depends on when you did it last time. For me its that breathing mouth-to-mouth is no longer recommended for untrained people and that there are two different stable positions, which depend on whether the person is conscious or not.
You should also know the reason mouth to mouth is "not recommended" is because people get frozen with fear of "doing it wrong" or grossed out by puke/blood and end up doing nothing. So this recommendation is in place to make sure first responders actually do start heart compressions which is the most important if the two. Hoping this is actually explained in the training
Pumping the heart should should still cause some air movement through an unobstructed airway, but not as much as mouth to mouth.
In my country they mentioned the UKs new recommendation, while still recommended mouth-to-mouth. But pumping is priority, do mouth to mouth if you can. And spend as little time as possible on mouth to mouth, get back to pumping asap. Also expect to break ribs when pumping... I really hope I never get to use my COR training
A number of years ago, they stopped recommending and teaching tourniquets because they were concerned about people losing limbs unnecessarily if tourniquets were to be applied unnecessarily.
However, then the Boston Marathon bombing occurred and the California nightclub shooting and they realized that they had made a tragic mistake because a lot of people lost their lives when they could have been saved.
So now, tourniquets are once again recommended and taught.
this. not the i doubt that staying refreshed is a bad thing but i’d love to be surprised at what is new.
Anyone have any recommendations on Amazon? I want a heated one - ice cold blasts in the pooper are generally not appreciated.
Took me a while to figure out you meant to be commenting on the bidet post!
Is there a no context sub yet?
I found this article is giving a new perspective to me regarding CPR specifically: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/05/29/1177914622/a-natural-death-may-be-preferable-for-many-than-enduring-cpr
Yes, CPR is brutal and more often than not ineffective. That TV trope where someone gets a few compressions suddenly coughs and sits up all alive and healthy again is complete BS. Literally never happens.
My wife's a paramedic and in seven years has only seen someone spontaneously regain pulse after CPR twice - and that's with a team of highly trained professionals and a whole bunch of fancy equipment.
Still worth trying in many cases though, but it's certainly not a miracle procedure and not something that should automatically be done in every case.
Could you please add a "Why YSK:"? It's rule #2. Thank you. :)
Added it! thank you
Now you have to do cpr in time to a tiktok remix of Saturday night fever
