    Wonderful that you have posted this. My daughter has her EMT license and is currently training to be paramedic, and she confirms that this is the latest technique.

    I’m glad to hear that. It’s simpler, easier to remember, easier to do.

    Thank you so much for the CPR video! I could remember how to do THAT in panic mode!

    Very interesting.. I’m now sitting here thinking I could maybe save someone if they collapsed.
    Oh, and I’m singing ‘Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive” my son thinks I’ve gone crazy.

    Is this form of CPR going to become the new standard. I am just wondering if it will be taught in future CPR certification classes. -Kristie

    My guess is that’s where it’s headed. Since people tend to be half-panicked in these situations, I like the simplicity.

    I was just certified a few months ago and apparently this information had not yet reached the local institutions. Even if you are certified, when you’re a provider who’s not likely to have to use CPR, like a dentist, for example, it’s easy to forget the details. This new approach makes it easy for everyone.

    I’d prefer this method. There are people whose mouths I’d prefer not to cover with mine.

    I like how this video explained the process so completely. I am also glad to know about the Good Samaritan law.

    Great information about this CPR method. You never know when fate will call upon you to save a grain victim’s life.

    I work for a company that amongst our other venture’s, provides CPR training for businesses. I showed the safety manager the video and he said we started using this method in classes about 2 months ago. I’m always the last to know!

    Our local fire department taught us that exact technique to our company 2 months ago so its becoming the accepted protocol.

    This is an update from 2010. All CPR classes should now be teaching this.

    It used to be ABC (airway, breathing, circulation)

    Now its CAB. (circulation, airway, breathing) Pushing on the chest does get some oxygen exchange… so in effect, you are helping them to breathe.

    Research is showing that the best treatment for people without a pulse or breathing is high-quality CPR… better than medications even. In hospitals, EMS and such, there’s two minutes of high quality CPR after any medication and shocking the heart

    Oh, and if you think you are protected under the Good Samaritan law by doing chest compressions with your foot, you are probably mistaken.

    Does anyone use a foot? Reminds of the joke about how New Yorkers perform CPR … (accompany with kicking motion): “Get off the @#$%ing sidewalk!”
