A member asked:
Can a paddle(such as one to resesitate a baby) make a babys lungs burst?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: The major effect of these paddles is on the heart. They can sometimes restart a heart that is stopped, and sometimes reset an abnormal rhythm and get it to go back to normal. I have never heard of a lung "bursting" like you describe.
