No-Breaths CPR

I recently renewed my CPR card and was introduced to this method. I maintain that students be trained in CPR and ALL of the instructor staff in a martial arts studio. I know school owners who have had students drop from heart attacks on the mat and CPR kept them alive. I would not be surprised if the states start to mandate automatic defibrillators in our schools. We do an athletic activity and often strike the chest. Do yourself a favor and take a class in CPR.

Learn Sarver Heart Center's Continuous Chest Compression CPR
Every three days, more Americans die from sudden cardiac arrest than the number who died in the 9-11 attacks. You can lessen this recurring loss by learning Continuous Chest Compression CPR, a hands-only CPR method that doubles a person’s chance of surviving cardiac arrest. It’s easy and does not require mouth-to-mouth contact, making it more likely bystanders will try to help, and it was developed at the
University of Arizona College of Medicine.
"This video is worth sharing," said Gordon A. Ewy, MD, director of the UA Sarver Heart Center and one of the research pioneers who developed this method.
