It’s still recommended that people take a First Aid course and deliver 2 rescue breaths following 30 chest compressions. The Vinnie Jones method of “Hands Only” CPR is for “Non Trained” First Aiders. The only other thing that has changed is that the CPR rate for infants is now 120 pushes per minute. This brings us to the “Hard and Fast” message that Vinnie gives us. The old rules of 100 pushes per minute and depth of 5 cms have been replaced by At Least 100 pushes per minute and At Least 5 cms. When it arrives, we don’t need to stop administrating CPR to apply it, we can carry on giving Chest Compressions while someone else applies the pads. When we call for help, we can also call for a Defibrillator. Well, the Defibrillator is now being treated a little different than before. (Just like Vinnie Jones does on the recent Advert)īut what about the D? where has the Defibrillator gone? So, it’s not a lot of difference than before, but hopefully this will encourage people to go straight to Chest Compressions if the patient is not breathing. Then after 30 pushes, we can then open the Airway, and give 2 Rescue Breaths. Is the patient’s Airway open? Is the Patient Breathing? If the answer is NO, then we go straight to the CABS bit. Among those attempted rescues, the rate at which bystanders used compression-only CPR also rose, from 20 of rescue attempts in 2005 to 76 in 2009. Well, the first two letters: AB are questions. Compression-only CPR was apparently more appealing, with the annual rate at which bystanders attempted CPR rising from 28 in 2005 to 40 in 2009. The Consumer manuals have now been changed, so even if an Instructor has not updated their own manuals, their Students will be prepared for the correct procedure. Hopefully, the new AB/CABS will change that. Seven years ago! But despite EFR materials changing, I am still meeting people who have recently been taught to give Rescue Breaths before administering Chest Compressions. Well I for one welcome the change with open arms! The last time the First Aid world was updated was way back in 2005. But now that has all changed! and now we have AB/CABS What on earth is going on? For years and years we had been teaching first aid using the guidance of ABC or something similar. *The Good Samaritan Law is intended to reduce bystanders’ hesitation to assist in an emergency.EFR instructors have new ways to teach CPR This method is also effective for individuals who have been trained in CPR before but may not remember all the steps of conventional CPR. Push hard and fast to give chest compressions.Call 9-1-1 and stay on the phone with the dispatcher as you.The Hands-Only CPR method is recommended for use on teens or adults that you witness suddenly collapse. This new update sets an upper limit for the chest compression rate, as excessive compressions and depth can adversely affect a patient’s outcome. Recent science indicates that more compressions lead to a higher survival rate. Per the 2015 updates, you should deliver at least 100 to 120 chest compressions per minute (previous rate was 100 compressions / minute).
