    Pretty sure it’s better to do only chest compressions instead of wasting time doing mouth-to-mouth. This simplifies giving CPR to a giraffe quite significantly.

          unfortunately i couldn’t find any information about their stance on giraffe cpr but for more information you can ask veterinarians or talking giraffes

      asked a friend in the medical field and she said it’s very easy to fuck up your rhythm if you take a break to do mouth to mouth. chest compressions only are better if you’re untrained.
