Germans refuse first aid



Few Germans are ready to help in an emergency case with a cardiac massage. The findings of a recent study of the Society of Anesthesiology. An estimated 10,000 people die each year, although they could be saved. The most important thing was to keep the brain and the organs of a cardiac massage alive..."That in Germany only 15 percent of pedestrians are willing to make a heart massage is truly remarkable - in a bad way "

- The chest press firmly, about two inches deep at a speed of 100 strokes per minute.
- The needed rhythm provides appropriately the song "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees.
"It will break ribs, but in contrast to the brain, you can fix it," says a doctor.
- The mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (artificial respiration) , of which many are disgusted is of secondary importance in the revival.

The current study demonstrates for the first time that people over 60 are less resuscitated by laymen, even though they have the same chance of survival. Only at the age of 90 years, the probability that the resuscitation is useful, gets less.
