CPR guidelines are changing Easy Cellar as a result of a conference that meets every five years: "The International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care with Treatment Recommendations Conference." The goal of the conference is to discuss global resuscitation science and come up with treatment recommendations.
The 2010 conference has concluded and so changes are coming in 2011 in the way the American Heart Association teaches their CPR classes. The most notable change is that the old acronym ABC (Airway, Breathing, Circulation) for CPR is being replaced with a new one: CAB (Circulation, Airway, Breathing).
To illustrate this point, I often tell a story about my friend Jim who was an active CPR instructor about 30 years ago. Back then the ratio of compressions to breaths was different, the pace of compressions was slower, and "ABC" was the rule. One day 30 years ago, Jim was walking home past a construction site and witnessed a worker collapse. None of the man's co-workers knew what to do, so Jim began performing CPR because the man wasn't breathing and had no pulse.
