Well done indeed!.....
i happen to be in a job where i do cpr often on a daily basis, BUT and its a big BUT i know my help is going to be seconds or minutes away AND i have facemask /bag and mask to distance me from the reality of mouth to mouth.
(I know mouth to mouth rescue breaths are not compulsory now) but when i have had to do cpr in the street i know it is NOT a pleasant experience. i was doing one rescue breath to two retchings to one rescue breath...
If this was your experience dont carry any Guilt:- whatever you manage is the best you can do for someone and always better than nowt. i have been at hundreds of resusitations now with full hospital kit and backup and very few have been what i would call positive outcomes.
Tears are a good and natural reaction and i often see tears as a post resuscitation response. part of it is the reaction to the adrenaline you release as part of the stress reaction. Or sometimes its just that your a human being. Do that update on your skills and take a new person along wife/ partner/friend/kids so they can do it too. Sermon over... but well done.

Thanks again all.
Wasn't pleasant doing mouth to mouth as you say, but adrenalin kicked in and just got on with it.
He was unconscious and passed calmly, don't think he new we were helping him, but I was talking to him and comforting him anyway incase he could hear me.
There wasnt any heroics, you dont have time to stop and think. It's a major life experience I won't forget, but nothing to what many in uniform have to go through on a regular basis.
