Cough CPR is generally ''not'' a recognized protocol (it is not recognized by the Red Cross either). I think we need to be careful, as warned by the The American Heart Association, "it may be possible for a conscious, responsive person to cough forcefully and maintain enough blood flow to the brain to remain conscious for a few seconds until the arrhythmia disappears or is treated...has been mislabeled "cough CPR," although it's not a form of traditional resuscitation." The "R" in CPR stands for resuscitation, and obviously an unconscious person cannot cough or be made to cough; nor the protocol resuscitate the heart, but rather may help control an arrythmia - an irregular heartbeat.

:Don't add tags unless agreement cannot be reached here. The page presently explains that no organisation recommends cough CPR. [[User:Jfdwolff|JFW]]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[[User_talk:Jfdwolff|<small>T@lk</small>]] 02:03, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
