Highlights of the 2010 Guidelines

This is the Highlights of the 2010 Guidelines change. This document explains some of the new changes and summarizes the key issues in the 2010 Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC). It is linked here as a way to assist students who are attending classes that are being held before the release of the new training materials (slated for March-April 2011)

While the entire document is very good, if student are looking for suggestions on specific topic areas to read before their class I suggest:

BLS for Healthcare Providers:
Please download or read sections dealing with major issues, healthcare provider BLS, electrical therapies, stroke, pediatric BLS and ethical issues.

Heartsaver CPR/AED or First Aid courses:
Please download or read sections dealing with major issues, lay rescuer adult CPR, ethical issues, First Aid.
