Before continuing with the material, first, we need to make sure that everyone knows what a CPR means. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure that combines chest compressions often with artificial ventilation in an effort to manually preserve intact brain function until further measures are taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person who is in cardiac arrest.
It sounds really complicated, but in simpler words, it is a form of first aid. Did you know that horses were able to perform it? Two talented ponies have proved their skills know no bounds as they appear to perform life-saving CPR on a collapsed rider.
Clever Albert and Ernie can be seen replicating the cardiopulmonary resuscitation procedure – including cycles of chest compressions and artificial breathing in this funny video created by a professional trainer, Emma Massingale. The 36-year-old, from Devon, roped her fiance Jeremy into the sketch to act as the ‘patient’ and used word cues to teach the accomplished duo the correct moves.
Albert and Ernie can even be seen sporting little sirens and carrying first aid kits in the cute footage. I am still shocked about how were they able to do it. It seems complicated for a horse. Yeah I know, I should stop being shocked this easily.
