Good quiz. I got them all correct ?. Compression question was prompted by TV advert staying alive with Vinnie Jones . A lot to be said for advertising campaign 

Yes I agree good quizz. I got 5 out of 5 too.  Many years ago I did a very very gentle Heimlich's on an infant.  I am glad to say she survived but the rest of the party were completely headless at the time.  But I wouldn't do it now of course.  CPR has very different numbers now too.

Lovely photos Goldie. Well done to your son as well. 

Thank you for your comments. I'm glad my post has provoked such positive comments on the need for the right knowledge of First Aid.

yes, at our work refresher we were told that you should use the BeeGees' song Staying alive to get the number of presses. The instructor said you could also use Another one bites the dust by Queen, as it has the same beat (?) but she would advice against singing it out loud as it might upset passes by to see you singing this while doing CPR.

Another one to sing to get the right tempo is "Nellie The Elephant".
