Ok today I learned something that's very important and can possibly save anyone's life!
At T7 or the lower boarder of scapular (draw a horizontal line between the scapulars, just at the middle of the line), use middle knuckle pressed HARD into that spot, press and massage for a while. To increase the effect, can also pound on it with your fist!
What can this do?
When a pt has Angina or MI, ask the pt to sit, you do the pressing job on his/her back.
Miracle can happen! This probably has the effect of Nitroglycerin!
But of course, gotta call 911 first, and while waiting for the paramedics, you can probably save a person's life!!
