The American Heart Association has just released a science advisory recommending bystander "Hands-Only CPR" for witnessed adult sudden cardiac arrest. What type of rescuer should perform "Hands-Only CPR"? What type of victim should receive "Hands-Only CPR"? What if the victim is an infant or child or has had a respiratory arrest? What are the implications for training?
You can learn about the "Hands-Only CPR" initiative at ECCU 2008. The Chair of the AHA Basic Life Support Subcommittee, Diana Cave R.N.,M.S.N.,C.E.N., and the first author of the published science advisory, Michael Sayre, M.D., will present the rationale for the science advisory and answer your questions about this important approach to bystander CPR.
Register now! The deadline for early registration is rapidly approaching. We're looking forward to seeing you in Las Vegas!
