Where do you punch to break your nose?
Aim to strike just under the nostrils and continue the movement up into the attacker’s head. Look for other opportunities. If your position relative to your attacker doesn’t allow for an upward strike, it is also possible to break the nose with a strike from the side.
What if you get hit in the Adam’s apple?

If you notice any swelling or breathing or voice changes after the injury, seek immediate medical care.
What happens if you do CPR on a live person?
If you tried to do CPR on such a person he or she would probably groan and even try to push you away. This would be your clue that CPR was not needed. CPR is intended only for someone whose heart and breathing has stopped. If the victim moves or pushes you away, you should stop CPR.
Can you do CPR on someone with a pacemaker?
Yes, this is safe. Most pacemakers and ICDs (implantable cardioverter defibrillators) are implanted in the upper left side of the chest. During CPR, chest compressions are done in the centre of the chest and should not affect a pacemaker or ICD that has been in place for a while.
Do they remove pacemakers when you die?
Since the person having the pacemaker removed is no longer living, there is no need for a doctor to remove the pacemaker after death. Either someone working in the hospital morgue or the mortician working at the funeral home you chose will be able to remove the pacemaker from your loved one’s body.
What can you not do with a pacemaker?
What precautions should I take with my pacemaker or ICD?

- Avoid magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines or other large magnetic fields.
- Avoid diathermy.
- Turn off large motors, such as cars or boats, when working on them.
