CPR found to be somewhat effective with compression's only

Hi,
  Yes capt 15 is correct,chest compressions only for lay rescuers,Until someone has
  a barrier device.The oxygen level is high enough for a FEW minutes while compressions only are being performed.The victim stills need Oxygen!
    This was discussed in 1992 and now is on TV ads etc.911 operators tell this so at least compressions are being performed.

    Key point the victim usually needs to be defibbed by an AED or defibrillator.

    My qualifications started teaching CPR at North Memorial in 1971(Also Padi Instructor M1279)Certified Cpr Instructor  in 1972 First American Red Cross instructor class,AHA Faculty Cpr and Acls  Affilate  Instructor Trainer instructor from then to present,
  Also Paramedic,and ER tech.
    More changes may come out soon!
    Safe Diving,
