I agree with everyone else. As stated before compression only CPR is adequate enough until First Responders or ALS arrive on scene, Your best bet is to do GOOD QUALITY COMPRESSIONS UNTIL AN AED becomes readily available and the pads are attached to analyze the rhythm and SHOCK the pt. if shock is advised.

I was an American Heart Association BCLS CPR / First Aid Instructor for 35 years retiring in 2015.All of your CPR Masks or Face Shields have a ONE-WAY VALVE to prevent vomit from entering your mouth provided the ONE-WAY Shield is properly place on the pt. This is a Federal NIOSH Regulation & OSHA Requirement. The Face Mask has a REPLACEABLE ONE-VALVE that costs in BULK @ $3-5$.

P.S. PLEASE BE ADVISED THE ONE-WAY VALVE IS DISPOSABLE & FOR INDIVIDUAL USE ON 1 PATIENT. THE MASK IS CLEANSABLE IN A 1/4 TO A GALLON BLEACH MIXTURE TO CLEAN IT & DISINFECT THE MASK FOR FURTHER USE. ALSO THE MASK SHOULD BE AIR DRIED TO PREVENT BACTERIA FROM BUILDING UP FROM MOISTURE AROUND THE RIM OF THE RUBBER SEAL.
