That's a good video but continuous CPR is not new. I re-certified my
CPR ticket a year and a half ago and this was the technique they
taught.

Good to hear it ... it was new to me but ....??

 



The only thing new to me in the video was using CPR if the person is
still breathing, even if it is just gasping. We were taught only to
use CPR if the person has stopped breathing. As noted in the video it
is not unusual to break a few ribs when CPR is done with the vigour
required to create blood pressure.

Where possible, if faced with life threatening arrhythmias, we are
encouraged to use an automated external defibrillator. Simple, easy to
use and very effective, when they are available.
