CPR found to be somewhat effective with compression's only

Ahh the days of Lifepack 3's and 12's, St. Paul uses the Phillips Monitors now. they do aed, 3 & 12 leads, external pacing, end tidal monitoring, biphasic defibrillation, cook you lunch and read you a story. ;D as far as time if I remember correctly its 6 min (getting old so...) Drugs arent given like they used to give them CPR and Shocks are the in thing. Paddles are the things of the past now we put big electrodes for shocks. and as far as the plunger goes. it is for doing cpr but is really effective. I for one hope that they get them approved by the feds and start using them regularly. there are stories of people actually waking up while cpr is being done on them due to the efficiency of the plunger.
