Additional Information

Newsflash

Real Life CPR!

Found this video recently. Although it shows the old 15:2 compression to rescue breath ratio, it also shows the difference an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) can make.

Take a look, let me know what you think.
CPR Update

You may have heard me mention before that I fully expect the new Resuscitation Council guidelines, due later this year, to come out in favour of Continuous Compression CPR. That is, not stopping compressions to give rescue breaths.

I have just found this video on Youtube which demonstrates this very well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5huVSebZpM

Remember that at the moment, the official line is still to give 30 compressions to 2 rescue breaths, but if you are unable, or unwilling, to give rescue breaths, then just give continuous compressions. This does not apply to children, or victims of drowning, as they are unlikely to have enough oxygen in their systems.

Finally, a word about youtube videos. I have watched quite a few now and some of them show very poor technique. Be careful not to believe everything you see on the "tube".

Keep those skills sharp.
