DID You Know ? Compression - Only CPR The American Heart Association amended and clarified guidelines for bystanders who witness an ADULT out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest. The AHA released an advisory calling for Compression-Only CPR by untrained responders of those who are not confident in performing conventional CPR, which combines chest compression and rescue breaths. The AHA science advisory, "Hands-Only (Compression-Only) Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: A Call to Action for Bystander Response to Adults Who Experience Out-of Hospital Sudden Cardiac Arrest" was published in the March 31, 2008 edition of the journal Circulation. At this time, the AHA is not changing its recommendation for Healthcare Providers and other professional rescuers who received Healthcare Provider basic life support training. It is important to note that Compression-Only CPR is NOT recommended for children and infants, adults discovered unresponsive, a non-heart relates arrests such as drowning victims, and persons suffering from a drug overdose. "All victims of cardiac arrest should receive, at a minimum, high quality chest compressions" By eliminating the apprehension associated with the need to ventilate, compression-only CPR may encourage more bystanders to take action and attempt CPR when an ADULT collapse is witnessed. Regardless of the approach, high quality chest compressions with as few interruptions as possible, help keep blood pumping from the heart to the lungs and brain, increasing the odds of successful resuscitation.
