        The American Heart Association has changed the 2010 guidelines for how effective CPR should be delivered.  If you are unfamiliar with the new standards please look at the link below.

        The video below shows effective CPR, but uses the old guidelines.  Do you think that there should be a tighter hold on these types of videos so that they are updated when the guidelines change?  Experts are split; some say that any CPR initiated is better than nothing (Skura, 2010).  What are your thoughts?
