NO MORE CHEST COMPRESSIONS !
CPR may be getting a new technique. This would involve pushing on the persons abdomen instead of the chest, which does not have a high rate of survival.
This new way is better because pushing on the abdomen makes blood circulate through the heart better and forces air out at the same time, so you won't need the standard mouth to mouth we've always been taught. You won't have to worry about breaking ribs if you press too hard, or being ineffective if you press too lightly. It could actually save more lives than the old way of giving CPR. See article.
