    So help me, I worked as a lifeguard this summer and my manager comes in one day and asks me how I would perform cpr on a giraffe and showed me this image.

    It was posted on the wall of our break room. Nobody could provide a solid answer.

    Adding yet another PSA to these comments that it is no longer recommended to pause chest compressions while doing cpr. You should exclusively be doing chest compressions until professional help arrives.

      Adding a PSA to state that you shouldn’t take medical advice from random people on the Internet.

      If you are trained in CPR, follow your training. If your certification has expired you should re-up it. There are legal reasons some training says certain things in different areas and following your training will protect you even if you go to a place with different laws.
