Changes for CPR in 2010. For years we have been used to ABC when doing CPR. Airway, Breathing and Circulation. That has now changed. Compressions are very important and being done last it just too long. Now it is CAB, starting with 30 chest compressions. Then open the airway and give the rescue breaths. Getting past the "yuck" factor of mouth to mouth or fumbling with a breathing shield, it was just taking too long. So remember, compressions come first!

Compression only CPR was approved by American Heart Association in March of 2008. Chest compressions are done in the same manner as conventional CPR except rescue breaths are not given. The biggest difference if you choose to do compression only CPR is that you have to perform 100 compression per minute opposed to cycles of 30 compression with 2 breaths. Compression only CPR is not recommended for children or infants or any other instance not involving the heart, such as drowning, choking.
