What Happens If You Do CPR On Someone Who Has A Pulse??
What happens if you do CPR on someone who has a pulse? My mentaly ill neighbor pretends to be a fireman and years ago he tried to do cpr on me even though i was just fine. P.S. I was about 7 and he was about 45 with severe brain disorders. What can happen?

You were 7 and your neighbour 45... The extra force applied by him could have fractured your ribs causing trauma to your vital organs..

CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSTICATION RARELY CAUSES ANY TRAUMA OTHERWISE IT WOULD HAVE NOT BE INCLUDED IN MEDICAL EMERGENCY PROTOCOLS,UNLESS IT IS PERFORMED BY UNEXPIRENCE HAND,OR THE PERSON RECIEVING IT HAS SEVER OESTEOPOROSIS OF RIBS.
BUT,FOR PURPOSE OF PRACTICE OBJECTS LIKE DEMOS OR PILLOWS CAN BE USE.
FREE VOLUANTAIRY TRAINIG CAN BE OBTAINED FROM BODIES LIKE ST.JOHNS AMBULANCE.
EVERY PERSON IN SOCIETY MUST GET ADEQUATE KNOWLEDGE OF FIRST AID,THIS CAN SAVE MANY LIVES.
REMEMBER CPR IS ONLY A SUPPORTIVE MEASURE AND SHOULD NOT BE AUGUMENTED AS MAIN LINE EMERGENCY CARE!
