When it comes to CPR, a common question is: Do we still do rescue breaths? The short answer—yes, absolutely - if you can.

Most people think CPR is designed to save lives, but that’s not entirely true. CPR is about buying time.

In this episode, we break down:

• What CPR actually does to the heart and lungs
• Why CPR alone won’t fix cardiac arrest
• The critical role of defibrillation in restoring a normal heartbeat
• The correct CPR technique – 30 compressions, 2 breaths, one-third chest depth

If someone collapsed in front of you, would you know where to find a defibrillator? The good news is that there’s an internationally recognized AED sign designed to guide you straight to one. The bad news? Some people want to change it.

In this episode, we cover:

• How to spot a defib instantly using the global AED sign
• Why first aid signage is green—and why that matters
• The risks of changing the standard AED colours
• Where you can find defibrillators in public places

Defibrillators are in shopping centres, sports clubs, workplaces, and even outside country pubs. But if signage isn’t consistent, will people still know where to look when it matters most?
