3. http://handsonlycpr.eisenberginc.com/The American Heart Association (AHA) has released
new guidelines on cardiopulmonary resuscitation for adults who unexpectedly stop breathing,
collapse, and are unresponsive. It is no longer necessary to administer mouth to mouth, but
instead, fast chest compressions are critical for the individual’s survival. The best thing you can
do for an adult that has unexpectedly collapsed is call 911 and immediately start pushing hard
and fast on the person’s chest until help arrives.

New, Simpler CPR Guidelines

In November 2005, the American Heart Association issued new cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(CPR) guidelines [published in Circulation 112(24 Suppl), December 13, 2005] which are
simpler than the previous guidelines. Mickey Eisenberg, M.D., Professor of Medicine at the
University of Washington, has created a website that breaks down the guidelines into three
simple steps: call, blow, and pump. Eisenbergs website also links to a video demonstration, and
to a printable CPR pocket guide.
