American Heart Association still trains to give compressions and breath's. But it has been geared toward more compressions than breath's for a few years now. There are just too many variables of circumstances. Like the video say's, anything is better than doing nothing. Also from what I hear breaking the rib's is pretty much a given.

Yep  break a rib save a life.  I've broke several ribs.   We have been using this method for 2 years now. It works best with multiple people .  Take the training when and if its offered, It's like hunter safety, boater safety,atv safety.  Once you have it,  it is just another arrow in the quiver.  Lets be safe out there.   Lazerdan

Thanks.  Much different than the technique I learned 12 years ago when I got certified.

I've been taught several different methods over the years. It seems like every year or 2 it changes. Of all the methods I learned this looks to be the simplist and easiest to remember. Thanks.

I am certified and have been re-certified many times, but that appears so simple the the technique makes sense.

I have to get recertified every 2 years for MSHA (for our rock crushing business) and it's like Maple Flats says, it seems they change every couple years. Our instructor has been hinting towards this technique the last couple times, and it sure makes more sense to me!  Having had to actually use CPR a time or two, the 100 strokes a minute is no problem! The adrenalin is flowing strong enough that I think I could make 150!
