Tod, I've heard first hand from one person that revived his girlfriend (now wife) after a dive accident by inflating her lungs with O2 when the dive boat crew had basically given up. George knows about this incident (out of Boynton Beach) as well as he is the one that mentioned it before I contacted the individual. TWO MAJOR CAVEATs: 1) If they are puking, don't blow the vomit down into their lungs as this will probably be fatal. Clear their mouth and throat to the extent possible first. 2) Don't overinflate their lungs (duh). Any Doc's or ETs want to forget about your insurer and add something to this? Alton--What is the liability to an untrained person if they damaged the persons lungs trying to revive them or it was shown that the person died due to aspirating vomit?
