This is an excellent video regarding an updated and more effective version of CPR that doesn't require blowing in someone's mouth. Pass it on.

CPR is a lifesaver. I know it helped to save mine.

That's great news! Glad to hear it! Thanks for the post.

Dang it. I just got trained for Boy Scouts.

We were trained in this method two years ago at my company. It should help a lot; the stigma of mouth to mouth has been a problem for some people, but not with this method. And it makes sense; no pulse , well, respiration isn’t going to make matters any better in the short term.

Thanks for posting that link. Very helpful.

I just received this in my email from a friend and I have sent it, in turn, to my entire email address book.

[Ditter]

I got this email a few days ago and sent it out. I took CPR and always dreaded the day that would have to give mouth to mouth to a stranger.

My speakers are out so I haven’t had a chance to listen to the video (and I’m sure I’m missing much without hearing the explanation). I thought the original concept of CPR was to keep oxygen going to the brain … no mouth-to-mouth, how is this possible?

There is oxygen in the blood. By continuously doing chest compressions you are constantly sending oxygen to the brain.

Thanks. Can’t wait until I can replace my speakers (tomorrow) so I can enjoy this video. ;-)

Thanks.

I know I promised to ping all of you for only Fair Tax related information. I figure this time is worth the exception. It may save someone’s life.

How amazing. I gather from the video that it even works for people who have been cut in half. And Obama wants to nationalize health care!

[Man50D]

Please ping your list nutmeg to spread the word.

I do have another question:

One of the good things about the old method of 15/2 (too breathes and 15 compressions), it gave the single person CPR provider a chance to rest a moment. The most tiring part of CPR is obviously the chest compressions.

Even with the additional adrenalin running though your veins in an emergency situation, how long can you last with continuous compressions. Not arguing with the current (and proven) version of CPR, just wondering?

"There is oxygen in the blood. By continuously doing chest compressions you are constantly sending oxygen to the brain."

I suspect that just the chest compressions probably cause "some" air transfer to/from the lungs also. I mean you "are" compressing and releasing the chest cavity.
