Just concentrate on good compressions.
Sleep tight.

Are we saying that compressions on their own will draw in oxygen?
Yeah. Effective compressions are more critical right away, especially if you’re alone. There’s some passive ventilation happening with the compressions.
AHA teaches it now I believe.
While that is true with humans, I’m not sure if that applies to Giraffes with such long windpipes
Have we tried?
So… I tried and let’s just say the Giraffe was not happy and I can tell you it hurts to be head butted by a Giraffe.
sounds to me like resuscitation was successfull, then.
Thank you for your service o7

Breathing IS part of effective cpr. It is absolutely recommended. Compressions alone are better than nothing, which is why we had a brief period where that was taught for one-person-cpr (and was meant to make nonmedical personnel more likely to do SOMETHING), but anyone trained in cpr should absolutely be following the compression:breathing ratio taught in cpr classes.
OP just wants to kiss that long, blueish tongue
Maybe it just needs a kiss to turn red ♥️
The mouth to mouth part is no longer medically advised, in favor of effective chest compressions.
You now only have to think about how you’re going to perform effective chest compressions on an animal whose anatomy you don’t understand at all (or even if you’re supposed to do them to begin with), and, assuming you should do them, keep doing them until a veterinarian qualified to resuscitate a giraffe can be flown in from thousands of miles away.
Good news! You got this. Have fun!
Instructions unclear, am now in charge of zombie giraffe.

What’s the fun of CPR if no mouth to mouth. Might as well just die together.
You could do CPR on the giraffe and then go to sleep later. It doesn’t have to be one or the other
Or the other way around. The giraffe isn’t going anywhere
Right, then. Sleep now; Marius burgers on the morrow.
The more I think about it, the more I realize that the most likely situation you would give CPR to a giraffe is in a dream so we might try to resolve a contradiction that doesn’t exist
Lmao the heart is 0,6m long and beats at 170 bpm. At least your soundtrack will be lit!

Here you go! 💀
Can’t be problem solving and sleeping. When I catch myself, I just try to think about something I’m observing instead.
Another bites the dust! Clearly the best way.
