CPR when he's still breathing?


Why does she give the priest CPR when he's clearly still breathing?!
Literally just so they could do the squirty blood lung bit?
Or is there ever a time it's medically necessary to breathe down someone's lungs whilst they're still breathing that I don't know about...

"Literally just so they could do the squirty blood lung bit?"

Yup. I suppose doing breaths while someone is still breathing is acceptable in very rare instances though, such as opioid overdoses or certain types of strokes, which cause hypoventilation. I didn't see any track marks on the cardinal and I doubt he had a brainstem stroke, so there's was no reason to give this dude breaths.

It would appear the actor could not hold his breath.
