Let’s Practice!!! We will practice first on each other. One partner will lay on the ground, on their stomach. – I will teach you how to log roll the victim over. We will go through finding hand placement for compressions. Then we will switch partners. Once both partners have log-rolled and check for AB we will use the manikins to practice the C, circulation.
