As nurses we realize it's ineffective. I ran into a problem 2 years ago. I was called to a neighbor's home by a child that her uncle wasn't breathing. tTo make a long story short., this was a 34 year old 200 pound man on a king size bed with absolutely no room as the bed took up the whole room. THe only thing I could do was kneel up on the bed and do the beest I could and had the child call 911. It was a terrible situation. Even if there were room enough to get him on the floor, I wouldn't have been able to because of his size and my wait was 110 pounds. Maybe you could add cpr in emergency situation in the home while waiting for 011 response. Thank you, Elizabeth Regarding cpr on a bed. As nurses we realize it’s ineffective.
