[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 585845, member: 4485"] Not really, the recommended Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines still state 30 compressions & 2 breaths (30:2). The St Johns CPR sheet states "[b]If unwilling or unable to give breaths, giving compressions only is better than not doing CPR at all[/b]." That is pretty much the recommendation of the ARC & how I've been trained (not by St Johns). St Johns are members & represented on the ARC (as are most if not all major professional medical bodies in Aust.).
