I believe I read before that rescue breaths are no longer strictly necessary and that chest compressions should be the priority when conducting CPR?

Good news if performing it on a giraffe, then.

I am not a professional giraffologist, but I suspect any CPR short of repeatedly backing over the giraffe’s chest with a Jeep would be relatively ineffective.

Maybe you could jump on its chest.

But I don’t have a degree in giraffeology.
