Philips is the global leader and trusted choice in defibrillation technology.
The American Heart Association has updated the Guidelines for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care, effective October 2010. Key changes include:
Start with compressions first, then administer the 2 breaths (C-A-B instead of A-B-C). “Look, Listen, and Feel” for breathing has been eliminated; the rescuer now briefly checks for breathing when initially checking for responsiveness.
Instead of adult compressions 1 ½“- 2” deep, they should now be at least 2” deep.
