Advocates for Injured Athletes Aims to Arm Student Athletes with Life-saving Knowledge | Team Mom - Yahoo! Shine A similar basic EMT program started at our high school last year. Students earn college jobs/internships and EMT work immediately. One year into the program and one graduate already has saved the life of one lucky college student. The second class will soon graduate.

All you need to do now is compressions...
took a CPR course and unless you are a first responder or in health care all they will teach you now is compressions. No breathing for any of us. Been proven to save more lives.

I'll admit it's been a few years, but my recollection is that the act alone doesn't save lives, but doing compressions is better than doing nothing. Since people are more apt to just do compressions than put their mouth on someone else's mouth, teaching to do just compressions will give more people the knowledge and confidence to do something.
On a side note, is it true that compressions is all that's being taught? I can see them teaching full CPR, but emphasizing compressions only when uncomfortable with using breathing as well. If that's true, it shouldn't be called CPR, but just CR. |

Yes, they're teaching compressions only CPR. The rationale is the one you've given, plus the fact that the lungs collapse slightly on each compression and provide some gas exchange.

I thought SDS provided gas exchange.... (sorry Steve, it was too good to pass up)

New science puts a LOT of stock in compressions. This is because studies have shown one of the most important things in cardiac resuscitation is "Coronary Perfusion Pressure," or a measure of the pressure in the arteries of the heart. If you don't have good CPP, you rarely have saves of patients. Stopping for even 20 seconds PLUMMETS the CPP, so even Paramedics now do 30 compressions to 2 breaths, or 2 minutes of compressions if they are intubated. The science has changed, and do lots and lots of hard and fast compressions. |
