We had a first aid course at work today. An interesting thing to note is that they have changed the breath/compression ratio (yet again!)

It is now 2 breaths, followed by 30 compressions at the rate of 100 every minute (this corresponds to roughly two every second - essentially flat out!). This is used for adults, babies and children, just smaller breaths/puffs for babies, and softer compressions. Also, no such thing as 2 person CPR - they now recommend that each person works on their own for 2 minutes then alternates so that you actually get time to rest and recover.

I sincerely hope that nobody ever has to use this for their own child.
