It was my job. Sometimes as many as 3 cardiac arrests per day.

Ultimately, I will still do it if I don't have a barrier if the need arises. I just hope it doesn't.

I hope this isn't her in about 30 years. If it is, I can safely say that I will probably be much worse.

She understands.
I don't even like to entertain the thought that it could possibly be her someday.

Right, but maybe use a shirt or something as a filter. I got a mouthful of projectile "vomitus".
And that's all I have to say about that... .

That's what I was thinking and why wasn't she his first choice?

That would be an intense situation.

Re: My CPR certification class starts in 45 minute
Well by now you know that breaths are not given the importance they were last time you took the class... as a matter of fact for 1 person CPR they are few and far between.
An ambu bag is expensive but Red Cross sells masks with a one way valve that are folded up and packaged so tiny they can go on your keys. Scroll down this page about 1/2 way:
http://www.first-aid-product.com/ind...r-keychain.htm
They are under $2. I bought a bulk lot at the last training I did for ACLS and only paid $0.59/ea for them. I keep one on my keys, another in my purse, one in my desk, a handful in my car and a few around the farm... house, barns, etc.
I've also had a mouth-full of emesis and plan to never ever ever ever do that again. Thankfully it was a child and it was mostly just swimming pool water but ewww...
