Heart Association changes CPR guidelines - "The revised guidelines issued Monday by the American Heart Association on cardiopulmonary resuscitation advise giving 30 chest compressions — instead of 15 — for every two rescue breaths."
erin Says:
wow, they changed a lot more than just compression ratios. only 1 shock
(360J) instead of 3 between rounds of CPR, and CPR before
defibrillation, even for EMS. adult AED use on peds. peds now are ages
1-12 or 13. plus about 500 billion more things. it will be interesting
trying to implement all this stuff.
