If the artificial heart were to fail, would CPR work? How would I go about keeping blood moving until we got to a hospital?

Not op but I'll dive in since we deal with this time of year. Christmas trees, keep them water and trim off any dead and dried out branches. With lights make sure they are in good condition. For all year around clean out your drier lint trap often, don't pile things around your furnace, don't over load outlets, never leave space heaters plugged in over night, never ball up oily rags and if you can't do any of that keep your doors ways and hallways clear. I can't believe how many times people have junk block exits and hallways to an exit.

Ok thanks good to know, I would hate to be the guy that killed someone because we weren't prepared.

Hi, ARFF fire fighter here. In the past few years ARFF vehicles manufactures have been pushing piercing tip nozzles to penetrate a fuselage and deliver agent into the passenger compartment. My opinion is that without being able to see what is on the other side you risk hitting a passenger or passengers. My question is have you been to any incidents where this has happened or that the usage of the piercer tip made a difference?
