Recent research shows no real advantage in using mouth-to-mouth CPR in outside-the-hospital cardiac arrest cases. Additionally, the studies show that people are not likely to do mouth-to-mouth on strangers, but are willing to do rapid chest compressions. So the next time someone collapses in front of you clutching their arm or chest, remember that the mouth-to-mouth procedure is no longer required; using your hands only is just fine. |
