Mew Research Sparks Controversy over CPR Technique

摘要

POP QUIZ! You and your crew are finishing up a full day's work at a client site. One of your crew members collapses as he drags the last load of brush to the chipper. You know that he has had heart problems in the past, and you suspect that he's in cardiac arrest. You send someone to call emergency rescue services. What do you do next? Most people would begin aiiministering cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), following the techniques learned in a CPR training course: alternating artificial respiration with chest compressions. But new research suggests that chest compressions alone can be just as effective.
