I gave my dad CPR once and realized then that I need to refresh myself on this. It ended up not being necessary. I didn't detect breathing or a pulse but he was in afib (around 400 beats/minute). I didn't know what was going on. I had just brought him home from the hospital an hour earlier after spending the night with his new pacemaker installed. I was just real scared and couldn't remember much of what I had been trained.
