http://www.ProCPR.org As of April, 2008, the American Heart Association began promoting hands-only CPR for lay rescuers. Hands-only CPR helps encourage lay rescuers to get involved who may not otherwise help. With this new technique, rescuers deliver 1.5 to 2 inch deep compressions at a rate of approximately 100 compressions per minute without the need to deliver rescue breaths in between. Hands-only CPR eliminates the fear of transmitting disease by removing the mouth-to-mouth component of CPR.

6/2/10 Update - In honor of CPR Awareness Week, ProCPR.org has created a Facebook Application to train people how to perform hands-only CPR and use an AED. You can find the application at   / hands_only_cpr   Video created by ProTrainings.
