New CPR Guidelines Have Been Published

Hopefully your workplace has someone trained in delivering cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to a fallen co-worker. But that doesn't mean they are aware of the latest recommendations on how that procedure should be done and some significant changes have been made.

The American Heart Association has issued new guidelines for performing CPR on victims of cardiac arrest. The 2005 guidelines recommend that you double the number of chest compressions to 30 for every two rescue breaths. In 2002, the old recommendation called for 15 compressions for every two rescue breaths.

Studies have shown that increasing the number of chest compressions improves blood flow through the non-beating heart, which can buy time for the victim until paramedics arrive.

There are many other new guidelines of equal importance, to review more information on all of these new guidelines click here.

  • The AHA has not adopted the new procedure yet and are still teaching the old way now. They do talk about the new procedure during their classes but it is not yet the method that is being taught.

  • It is my opinion that EVERY person should know CPR and take the recommended renewal classes every two years. There is no way to know when a family member, co-worker or even a total stranger may need your help. Our Technical Institute is located across the street from an airport; when the airport manager found out that every student and faculty member was required to take CPR classes he stated if there were ever an accident involving a plane and multiple people he would seek our assistance.
