A change to the CPR system (and various medical things)

So, lets switch the current CPR (breathing) to compressions. If the patient is wearing an on oxygen mask, it should help them more as they are getting more oxygen. Also adding a bag mask to pump in air with that would be neat.


Second, cardiac arrest where the heart has stopped and they have no pulse. The average adult can only be in this for a maximum of 4 to 6 minutes. If it's longer than that then they will likely have brain damage. So, if someone is in the YOUR HEART HAS STOPPED phase for more than 4 minutes, let them take brain damage.
I'm not sure how much realism there is supposed to be in space. How different is this from what currently happens?

So, have a chance for people with the age set over 70 to have a chance of ribs breaking during CPR. It could cause no damage as to not keep people from doing CPR on them but it would make a cool OH SHIT moment.
If you aren't breaking ribs, you aren't doing it right.

It doesn't remove cardiac arrest 100% of the time, does it?

Ali0en Wrote:Fifth and final piece for now, drugs. I can't recall any of the drugs in right now causing a lot of oxygen damage, but drug overdoses do cause the lungs to close, though this is mainly seen in opiate type drugs. So, have drugs do oxygen damage (if they don't right now I can't remember).
I would assume that paralytics such as Pancuronium do oxygen damage?
