Roger, I've been on staff at a home for troubled boys since I retired from the navy in 1996. We have to re-certify in CPR every two years. No two classes had ever been the same due the ever changing ratio of rescue breaths to compressions. For the last few years we have been taught the compression only method. Really simplifies things for my old brain. Thankfully I have never needed the training but stand ready to give it a go if needed.

I will guess that 1-in-5 people who see this video will have the opportunity to save someone's life in the next 10 years.

We went to a comedy night fundraiser for a local fire department, and they showed us the "Staying Alive" video. I guess if you can keep a disco beat you can keep someone from dying.
Now, if they only sold those "Push hard and fast" T-shirts like that blonde babe is wearing ... -

That's not a crappy post! And I appreciate it.
I agree that CPR has been too complicated to apply effectively. And Steve is right that it was worse because of changing instructions in every class. And who has a mouth shield ready to go? -

Helly... I remember Mia Sorvinos' character in Wise Girls winding plastic food wrap around a guy's head a bunch of times, then poking a hole thru it to his mouth so she could do rescue breathing w/o contamination.
CPR kits are all over the web (http://www.first-aid-product.com/industrial/cpr-kits.htm, f'rinstance) at about $6.00
Or, just do compressions... -

LMAO, who uses a mouth shield? If I was in a situation where I felt I needed one, well, I'd pray for his soul.

Gotta agree with Esteve. All the training I've taken since the '80's has changed everytime I've taken it. But, the last time the local paramedics gave us training, the thing that stuck with me was the chance of survival as a CPR recipient - about 8%.
