CPR - Public Service Announcement

Hi everyone. I just finished up a CPR class at work, and wanted to pass along this quick tid bit. Did you know that a compression-ventilation ratio of (30:2) is recommended? I sure didn't know that!! I thought it was something like one breath for every five chest compressions. Instead, you're supposed to give two breaths, and then thirty chest compressions.

So, take a minute and read up on CPR http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiopulmonary_resuscitation or visit http://www.redcross.org to take a class.
