Interim Training Materials
We have created interim training materials thatallow Instructors to immediately start incorporating
some of the most significant changes into current
(2005) training materials.
The interim materials are only intended to be used
until the new training programs are made
available.
Use of the interim materials is an option and not arequirement. Instructors can continue to use the
current (2005) materials as designed.

Need to Know
Every Instructor needs to understand the
guideline changes that affect the program(s) he
or she is authorized to teach.
In the following pages we have organized themost significant guideline changes by area and
training level.
For each identified change, the lesson provides
the 2005 guideline for reference, the updated
2010 guideline, and the reason for the change.

Lay and Healthcare Providers
Some of the lessons cover lay providers and
some cover healthcare providers.
Even though an Instructor may only teach a
single provider level, the comparison informationfrom the other level may be valuable for
understanding and ability to answer student
questions.

Emphasis on High-Quality CPR
blood flow is optimized by using the recommended chest compression
force and duration and maintaining a chest compression rate of
approximately 100 compressions per minute. These guidelines
recommend that all rescuers minimize interruption of chest compressions CPR instruction should emphasize the importance of allowing complete
chest recoil between compressions.
(Circulation. 2005; 112: IV19-IV34)
2005 Guidelines
-
7/30/2019 2010 guidelines instructor update
29/148
Emphasis on High-Quality CPR
To provide effective chest compressions, push
hard and push fast. compress the adult chest
at a rate of at least 100 compressions per
minute with a compression depth of at least 2inches/5 cm. allow complete recoil of the
chest after each compression, to allow the heart
to fill completely before the next compression.
minimize the frequency and duration of
interruptions in compressions to maximize the
number of compressions delivered per minute.
(Berg, et al. Circulation. 2010;122;S685-S705)
2010 Guidelines
-
7/30/2019 2010 guidelines instructor update
30/148
Highlights
This is a re-emphasis from 2005.
For effective compressions:
Push fast
Push hard Allow chest to fully recoil
Minimize any interruptions
Applies to both lay and healthcare providers.
-
7/30/2019 2010 guidelines instructor update
31/148
Rationale For Change
High-quality chest compressions within CPR
continues to be a critical focal point.
Well-performed compressions increase the
likelihood of survival.
-
7/30/2019 2010 guidelines instructor update
32/148
Compression Hand Position
The rescuer should compress the lower half of the victims sternum in the
center (middle) of the chest, between the nipples. The rescuer should
place the heel of the hand on the sternum in the center (middle) of the
chest between the nipples and then place the heel of the second hand ontop of the first so that the hands are overlapped and parallel.
(Circulation. 2005; 112: IV19-IV34)
2005 Guidelines
-
7/30/2019 2010 guidelines instructor update
33/148
Compression Hand Position
The rescuer should place the heel of one hand
on the center (middle) of the victims chest
(which is the lower half of the sternum) and the
heel of the other hand on top of the first so thatthe hands are overlapped and parallel.
(Berg, et al. Circulation. 2010;122;S685-S705)
2010 Guidelines

Second hand on top of the first.
Not on lowest part of breastbone.
Applies to both lay and healthcare providers.
-
7/30/2019 2010 guidelines instructor update
35/148
Rationale For Change
Use of the nipple line as a landmark for
hand placement was found to be unreliable.
-
7/30/2019 2010 guidelines instructor update
36/148
Compression Rate
There is insufficient evidence from human studies to identify a single
optimal chest compression rate. Animal and human studies support a
chest compression rate of >80 compressions per minute to achieve
optimal forward blood flow during CPR. We recommend a compressionrate ofabout 100compressions per minute.
(Circulation. 2005; 112: IV19-IV34)
2005 Guidelines
-
7/30/2019 2010 guidelines instructor update
37/148
Compression Rate
It is reasonable for laypersons and healthcare
providers to compress the adult chest at arate of at least 100 compressions per minute
with a compression depth of at least 2 inches(5 cm.)

2010 Guidelines
-
7/30/2019 2010 guidelines instructor update
46/148
Highlights
At least 2 inches on an adult.
It is okay to compress a little deeper.
Not enough information to define upper limit.
Applies to both lay and healthcare providers.
-
7/30/2019 2010 guidelines instructor update
47/148
Rationale For Change
Research indicates the tendency for CPR
providers to not compress deep enough, even
with the emphasis to "push hard."
-
7/30/2019 2010 guidelines instructor update

2005 Guidelines
-
7/30/2019 2010 guidelines instructor update
53/148
Breathing Assessment
After activation of the emergency response system, all rescuers should
immediately begin CPR for adult victims who are unresponsive with no
breathing or no normal breathing (only gasping).
(Berg, et al. Circulation. 2010;122;S685-S705)
2010 Guidelines
-
7/30/2019 2010 guidelines instructor update
54/148
Highlights
No more look, listen, and feel.
Quick look for no breathing or no normal
breathing.
Agonal breaths remain a concern. Applies to both lay and healthcare providers.
-
7/30/2019 2010 guidelines instructor update
55/148
Rationale for Change
Simplifying the breathing assessment is
intended to help laypersons respond more
quickly with chest compressions and CPR.
There is a high likelihood of agonal, or irregular,gasping breaths to occur early in cardiac arrest
and confuse rescuers.

CPR Sequence - Lay
For an unresponsive person who is not breathing or not breathing
normally, begin CPR by opening the airway and giving 2 rescue breaths
followed with 30 chest compressions. Repeat cycles of30:2 (ABC
method).

Use of an AED on an Infant
Many AEDs have high specificity in recognizing
pediatric shockable rhythms, and some are
equipped to decrease (or attenuate) the
delivered energy to make them suitable forinfants and children < 8 years of age. For
infants an AED equipped with a pediatric
attenuator is preferred for infants. If neither is
available, an AED without a dose attenuator
may be used.

Highlights
Success at defibrillating infants.
Use attenuator to reduce shock.
Okay to use AED set for adult.
Applies to both lay and healthcare providers.
-
7/30/2019 2010 guidelines instructor update
67/148
Rationale For Change
AEDs designed to be used on adults have been
successful when used on infants with out-of-
hospital cardiac arrest.
Minimal heart muscle damage and goodneurological outcomes were reported.

Chain of Survival
These actions are termed the links in the Chain
of Survival. For adults they include:
Immediate recognition of cardiac arrest and
activation of the emergency response system
Early CPR that emphasizes chest
compressions
Rapid defibrillation if indicated
Effective advanced life support
Integrated postcardiac arrest care.

Rationale For Change
Links in the Chain of Survival indicate theindividual actions that must be strong in
order for a person to survive a sudden
cardiac arrest.
The addition of the fifth link, integrated post-
cardiac arrest care, further emphasizes the
additional dependence on longer-term care
for long-term survival.

Team Approach - HCP
When multiple rescuers are present, they should rotate the compressor
role about every 2 minutes. The switch should be accomplished as quickly
as possible (ideally in less than 5 seconds) to minimize interruptions in
chest compressions.

Team Approach - HCP
The intent of the algorithm is to present the steps of BLS in a logical and
concise manner that is easy for all types of rescuers to learn, remember and
perform. These actions have traditionally been presented as a sequence of
distinct steps to help a single rescuer prioritize actions. However, manyworkplaces and most EMS and in-hospital resuscitations involve teams of
providers who should perform several actions simultaneously (e.g.: one
rescuer activates the emergency response system while another begins chest
compressions, and a third either provides ventilations or retrieves the bag-
mask for rescue breathing, and a fourth retrieves and sets up a defibrillator).
