Teddy attempts to revive the children with CPR, which was officially "invented" in 1956, 2 years after the movie is set and 4 years after the children drown. However, CPR existed in many forms from as early as the mid-1700's. In August 1767 a few wealthy and civic-minded citizens in Amsterdam gathered to form the 'Society for Recovery of Drowned Persons', which within 4 years claimed that 150 persons were saved by their recommendations, including respirations in to the victim's mouth, either using a bellows or with a mouth-to-mouth method (mouth-to-mouth or mouth-to-nostril respiration is described including the advice that "a cloth or handkerchief may be used to render the operation less indelicate"). As a combat veteran it conceivable that Teddy witnessed such techniques.
