Signs of things to come????

If you read this article from CNN, you’d have to think that CCR (or compression only CPR) is THE major change coming to ECC by the end of this year………except for one little quote from it:
“The Red Cross issued a statement, saying it considers traditional CPR to be better, but that compressions without mouth-to-mouth “is an acceptable alternative for those who are unwilling, unable, or not trained to perform full CPR.”
That sounds like the AHA, the body that puts out the national standard suggested treatments for cardiovascular problems, doesn’t believe in CCR. And yet, it does seem the data points to it being better. The outcome remains to be seen………and it will by the end of this year when the new standards come out. Stay tuned!
