Today I had to get recertified to do the basic CPR course. This should not be a very difficult task, but it definitely was an annoying one. With every breath the computer told me- "too much air, not enough air, too fast, wait longer between breaths, speed up the breath", and then with each compression the computer told me- "push deeper, push harder, lighten your push, push faster, etc., etc., etc." All in hopes of me getting it just right.
We had to do full CPR on both an adult dummy as well as an infant dummy. I got the adult down pat, but the infant dummy. That was a different story. By the 6th cycle of trying to do compressions on the dummy I finally had to have one of the TAs come over and help me. The darn computer didn't think that I was pushing in the correct location - meaning I heard "good compressions, but your finger placement is incorrect" 1000000 times! Finally I passed the infant CPR portion and got through the course.
At the end of the day - I AM RE-CERTIFIED IN BASIC LIFE SUPPORT SKILLS. yay.
