On page 133 of the hard copy in the ER/tox chapter, under the pearl for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) it looks like some of the writing has been left out? What comes after the but…?
Sorry about that. I must’ve passed out due to exhaustion
Here’s the updated section:
CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR)
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a low-yield topic because guidelines are always changing.
* SINGLE RESCUER CPR FOR BABIES: Provide compressions and breaths at a ratio of 30:2 to minimize transition times. Also, COMPRESSIONS are more important than breaths.
* DOUBLE RESCUER CPR FOR BABIES: Provide compressions and breaths at a ratio of 15:1 (15 compressions for every breath).
* ADOLESCENTS: 30:2 regardless of the number of rescuers.
* PEARL: Guidelines have changed, but the key is to remember that it’s becoming more and more important to focus on high quality chest compressions to get the blood flowing rather than focusing on breaths.
