A New Suggestion For CPR Resuscitation, No Mouth-To-Mouth

]]> cpr.jpgA new study once again on CPR… UA’s Sarver Heart Center, and a CPR research group have pioneered a new type of CPR known as cardio-cerebral resuscitation. This this type of CPR suggests 100 forceful compressions with no mouth-to-mouth.

“Compressions, for them to be effective, have to be fast and forceful. People tend to do them too slowly,” Clark said. “Most lay people can’t do 100 compressions in a minute so we suggest that people do team compressions.

The thoughts behind this is that we do not need to get additional oxygen to the lungs but we certainly need to provide oxygen to the heart and brain. So based on this research the layperson’s CPR is very simple and easy, call 911 and start compressions. Have you heard anything about this? What is your opinion?
