Drop 'kiss of life'

Llanigraham:
Current British Resusitiation Council advice is for 30 compressions to 2 breaths, and this is what is taught by St John, Red Cross, British Heart Foundation, Ambulance Services, and all other bodies in the UK, at the moment.

As my next door neighbour runs one of the largest Health & Safety Training companies in Wales, and therefore gets any changes before they are made public, I shall ask him to let me know if anything changes.

I would encourage EVERYONE to go on a training course, and learn basic CPR as soon as possible.

SimonHarwood:
Hands up all those who could manage to continuously do 100 (specified in the article) chest compressions a minute for the, say, 5 to 10 minutes that it takes an ambulance or fast-response car to arrive.

Llanigraham:
Yes, I can and have. It is amazing how powerful adrenalin is!!!!!

And you are lucky if you get an ambulance in 5 to 10 mins. Around here it can be 30 mins!
