CPR Recertification

What is this program? How does it work?

• Push hard, push fast: compress at a rate of 100 compressions per minute
• Allow full chest recoil after each compression
• New ratio of 30:2 (1-2 rescuers) HCP 15:2 (2 rescuers)
• Early defibrillation: chances of survival increase close to 50% if an AED is properly and effectively used
