Learn about the new cpr and aed guidelines american heart 2010 2011 update

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) July 25, 2011 -- The simplified form of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, focuses on giving chest compressions to keep the blood -- and the oxygen in the blood -- flowing to the heart and brain. If after you give 30 hard and fast chest compressions, you are trained or can perform mouth to mouth, do 2 one second breaths, then repeat 30 compressions until the aed arrives, you see signs of life or until ems or someone higher trained takes over.

After calling 911 and doing these compressions, (or breaths and compressions) if someone else is nearby, send that person in search of an automatic external defibrillator (AED), a device that can shock the heart back into normal rhythm. "To give the victim the best chance of survival, three actions must occur within the first moments of a cardiac arrest: activation of the EMS [emergency medical services] system, provision of CPR and operation of a defibrillator," the new guidelines state. People currently are trained to learn the ABCs of CPR -- which stand for airway, breathing and compressions. But the AHA now suggests that the order should be CAB -- compressions first, then airway and breathing. The idea is the same as before, though: Get blood and oxygen moving as quickly as possible.

Every few years the American Heart Association gets together with other members of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) to evaluate the latest research surrounding CPR and emergency cardiac care (ECC). This includes : American Heart Association (AHA), American Red Cross (ARC), American Safety and Health Institute (ASHI) and others emergency and healthcare organizations.
