Alright. I know there's lot of doctors and nurses up in here. -

Red cross courses are fine. CPR is cool and all, but it's more worth it to learn diagnostic skills. A lot of times I don't do CPR when I know it's just gonna be defiling a corpse. Dying in peace is a thing.

Some people I talk to disagree about this, but after calling 911(or whatever is in your country), make sure the scene is safe, and do a basic triage. Don't do CPR on people who have been shot in the torso (not too much else you can do anyway, without specialized equipment) when you can help someone with a severely bleeding leg.

Check the pulse by placing two fingers in the area between the jaw bone and esophagus, you can usually feel the jugular there.
As for CPR you, hold the nostrils tight then force air into the subjects mouth until you see the sternum rise, compress the sternum, then repeat until you're sure their dead or the EMTs arrive.
Thank you, Crankenstein. Just the advice I was looking for. Love the pinch the nostrils tip.

The jugular is usually on the left side?

Also, don't want to bug you no more, but isn't there a recovery position for trauma patients? Like curled up on their side?

Jugular is bilateral. And the recovery postion is achieved by grabing with one hand the shoulder and the other the hip of a peron laying in his back and pushing towards you until their knee oposite to you is on the ground. Look at pics.

Probably don't move them unless it's not safe for them to be there, or 911 tells you to. I guess if someone's on their back, they might choke on something, so if that happens, you could do something then.

don't do that shit, wtf? You're wasting valuable time. Do 100-120 compressions per minute on the sternum (between the nipples), you should be compressing the chest at least 2 inches, don't bother with breathes (most agencies are phasing them out since it takes up valuable time and can restart your progress)

If you dribble a little warm milk in their mouth they might pull through.

Hmm? I'm not saying any of this stuff can't help, but it's not incredibly important to remember unless you think you won't be able to talk to a EDT immediately, if you are in the wilderness or something. If you describe the situation, they can tell you what way is safest to move someone, and into what position, if it's needed.
