No, it is not possible to perform CPR on yourself in an emergency situation. CPR requires proper positioning and forceful chest compressions that cannot be effectively done on oneself. It is important to seek help from others or call emergency services if you are in need of CPR.

How should one administer the treatment of choking in an emergency situation?

To administer treatment for choking in an emergency situation, follow these steps: Assess the situation and determine if the person is choking. Encourage the person to cough to try to dislodge the object. If coughing doesn't work, perform abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) by standing behind the person, wrapping your arms around their waist, and thrusting inward and upward. Continue abdominal thrusts until the object is dislodged or emergency help arrives. If the person becomes unconscious, perform CPR.

How will you explain the sudden boost of energyincreased strength and extraordinary ability to lift very heavy objects especially during emergency situations?

This phenomenon is often attributed to the body's release of adrenaline in response to stress or danger. Adrenaline triggers the "fight or flight" response, increasing heart rate, blood flow to muscles, and overall physical strength to help cope with the emergency situation. This surge of energy allows individuals to perform feats that would not be possible under normal circumstances.


What about failed CPR?

As a first responder, we always perform CPR if the situation calls for it. We may never know if the CPR we performed was able to save the life or not. Depending on the medical emergency, there may be no chance for recovery. CPR will not always save a life, so if it is not able to it is OK. We will always perform CPR if the situation warrants and if it fails it is OK, We did our part to give the person the chance to be saved by our prompt response.
