The Bee Gees thing is pretty wild, but easy enough to remember. Who can ever get that tune purged from their head?

Thanks.

They keep saying it’s C-A-B, and I can figure out that the “C” is either “chest” or “compression”. Fine. For the life of me, and can’t see where they explain the “A” or “B”.

This has been in the works for a few years....doing away with the “breaths” during CPR. The chest compressions are well enough to circulate blood and get oxygen to the brain. And, when you breathe into someone during CPR...you put in a lot of CO2 instead of oxygen

First Responder trained....and not having to do the breaths makes CPR much easier....and allows life-saving for those with damage to their pulmonary syatem

I think the key is that the chest compressions also cause breathing to oxygenate the blood, by forcing air out of the lungs, which refill on each upstroke.
