That's only for bystanders for the reason you cite (reluctance to give aid). Rescue breaths are helpful and those of us who have to respond for our employer still give them. I carry around a barrier mask all the time now.
Source: I have the HCP level CPR cert.
- nmcfarl 14y agoThis is a barrier mask, for those of us that didn’t have a clue: http://www.staples.com/Ambu-CPR-Barrier-Masks-with-Key-Chain-Blue/product_109579 http://www.staples.com/Ambu-CPR-Barrier-Masks-with-Key-Chain... That spiral in the middle is the one way valve.
