Excellent article! Actually, last year I renewed my BLS [CPR], ACLS, as well as certified first time in TNCC & PALS... they all emphasized the lean more towards compressions over breaths. Does make sense when you think it about it, IMHO.

I recert'ed CPR a year ago tomorrow. Had to do Heimlich on co-worker a few days before that. We sorta laugh about it. BTW...she'd had a hard time swallowing a pill of hers. Yeesh.
