RESUSCITATION COUNCIL UK……..2010 Latest Changes……..
Here is the summary of main changes for Adult basic life support as announced by the council and will now be taught on all abc courses.
The following changes in the guidelines have been made to
reflect the importance placed on chest compression, particularly good quality
compressions, and to attempt to reduce the number and duration of pauses during
chest compression:
- When obtaining help, ask for an automated external defibrillator (AED), if one is available.
- Compress the chest to a depth of 5-6 cm and at a rate of 100-120 min-1.
- Do not stop to check the victim or discontinue CPR unless the victim starts to show signs of regaining consciousness, such as coughing, opening his eyes, speaking, or moving purposefully AND starts to breathe normally.
- Teach CPR to laypeople with an emphasis on chest compression, but include ventilation as the standard, particularly for those with a duty of care.
