If Dr Petelenz has announced his findings in 2003, why has he only managed to publish them in a Polish journal? I've removed this. JFW | T@lk 21:44, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Is there a URL we can link to, so as not having to repeat the whole email verbatim over here? JFW | T@lk 21:46, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

• I think it is better to repeat the whole email verbatim, but I don't mind to keep it like Jfdwolff suggested. It seems OK to me.--AAAAA 00:24, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] POV

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. JFW | T@lk 02:03, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] UnOrphan this document?

“Cardiopulmonary resuscitation” has a section called “Self-CPR”, In that, there is the term “Cough CPR”. If that was changed to a link, would it be sufficient for this document to no longer be an orphan? [[User:Cs1kh]] (talk) 10:29, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
