I posted about this procedure change on my heart thread in November. Good to keep it in mind.

New CPR

In Arizona, paramedics began using a new CPR method. They skip the breathing step and instead, alternate two minutes of chest compressions with a single shock from a defibrillator.

Physicians in Arizona reported that the new regimen has tripled the long-term survival rate, which went from 4.7 percent to 17.6 percent.

Weeks after the Arizona study was published, the American Heart Association revised its official guidelines to promote breathless resuscitation as the preferred method for bystanders without CPR training.
