ROSC is : Return of spontaneous circulation, which is the return of "life" after a cardiac arrest, weak pulse, movement etc. are part of ROSC, and no it has NOTHING to do with the effectivness of CPR
the main problem is that CPR can lead to even more problems, like broken ribs, deep bruising etc. and if you calculate the fact that a non professional will probably mess up the rythm that is needed for a "successful" administration because of the high tension surrounding such a procedure.....
you put it in your wallet, and when theres a situation like that you can preform a cpr on that person and that card is to show that you are certified so it shows that you kno what you doing..
True...but, anything above zero, to me, is worth something. :)
