what has changed in the cpr process
In 2010, the American Heart Association made a radical change to the recommended CPR process for victims of cardiac arrest after studies showed that compression-only CPR (no mouth-to-mouth breathing) is as effective as the traditional approach.f you're also doing rescue breaths, keep doing a cycle of 30 chest compressions, and then 2 rescue breaths; repeat the 30 compressions and 2 more breaths. 1  You should do CPR for 2 minutes (5 cycles of compressions to breaths) before spend time checking for signs of life.
