Press release from American Red Cross referencing Hands Only CPR Washington, DC-
The American Red Cross has conducted an initial review of the recent
changes to the ECCU 2010 guidelines for CPR and Emergency
Cardiovascular Care and does not plan to make any substantial changes
to our courses as a result of these new guidelines. We are continuing
with a more thorough review of the science behind the guidelines and
may institute subtle changes in the future if they are warranted.
While
we support the use of the hands-only technique by bystanders, full CPR
with chest compressions and rescue breaths is still best for many
people, including children, adolescents, drowning victims, or people
who collapse due to breathing problems. Health care professionals, such
as doctors, nurses, paramedics, EMTs and workplace responders should
continue to be certified in full CPR. |
