Course Summary

CPR
Over the years, there have been improvements to the CPR process. Once taught as the A-B-Cs of resuscitation (Airway, Breathing, Compression), CPR now focuses on compressions, with checking and clearing the airway a secondary concern. In the past, checking for a pulse was also part of the sequence. This has been de-emphasized since a pulse can be difficult to detect even for a trained health care provider.
