Jack,
It's amazing how medicine keeps changing over the years. I have been to several CPR courses and each time there is a change.

Thanks for the post.

They were showing that on TV recently. I especially liked the part about Staying Alive by the Bee Gees. They showed a segment 10-15 seconds long with that song playing and the CPR giver keeping time to it. Great way to keep the timing right if you can get that song in your head at the right time.

I was involved saving a gentlemen at Voyager RV park two years ago and I was the mouth to mouth giver, then once the gentlemen was breathing somewhat, I switched to the chest compressions until the medics arrived, then continued until they released me, once they had monitor hooked up. We were fortunate that we had a portable defibrilator available. Back then we used the 15 compressions and two breaths for four cycles then check pulse, then continued. In my 26 years of being a medic, both military and civilian, I had never had the opportunity to use it, but went to annual training. I always wondered if I could perform if called to, It worked, he lived (needed 5 stints placed), he was very appreciated to the three of us that saved his life AND boy, did I feel great. I think the new method makes sense and will be easier on a non-drowning adult......
