Why did they change CPR?
In 2010, the CPR guidelines were updated with the concept of compression-only CPR as a separate option for untrained bystanders. This was based on the concept that, for at least a few minutes, chest compressions alone could circulate the remaining oxygen in the bloodstream of a victim of sudden cardiac arrest.
What are the new AHA CPR guidelines?
The AHA guidelines “strongly recommend” that untrained / lay responders perform “compression-only” CPR, sometimes known as CCR. However, medical professionals and trained lay people are still urged to give the victim two “rescue breaths” in between each series of 30 chest compressions.
What are the new BLS guidelines?
Change to 1 breath every 6 seconds (10 breaths per minute). Single rescuer: use 2 fingers, 2 thumbs, or the heel of 1 hand for infants. For infants, single rescuers (whether lay rescuers or healthcare providers) should compress the sternum with 2 fingers or 2 thumbs placed just below the nipple line.
