 CPR
Standards |
|
|
|
The new CPR standards and steps have been streamlined and
amalgamated for adult, child, and infant CPR; they now involve all
of the same steps and actions. Research indicated that CPR
should be easier to remember and perform, thus some of the steps
have been removed and the 'numbers' are all the same. There is
now a distinction made for the general population, referred to as
"lay rescuers". They include most rescuers such as the general
public, workplace, fitness professionals, caregivers of children. |
