As part of a thorough course in First Aid at the school, Peter has experienced some practical hands on experience with the help of plastic dummies with detachable faces. Every body in the course was given a sterile face to work with (!) and their first challenge was working out how to put them on so that they worked properly for the Expired Air Resuscitation. The latest ratio is 30 CPR to every 2 EAR. It is definitely a daunting prospect to have to compress a victim's chest about 100 times a minute, continuously at that rate, with such heavy pressure (if the dummy's spring is any indication) until help might arrive.
