    The American Heart Association released new CPR guidelines in October 2010 that changed the order of steps from ABC (airway, breathing, circulation) to CAB (circulation, airway, breathing). The new guidelines emphasize beginning chest compressions immediately rather than establishing an airway first. The guidelines apply to performing CPR on adults, children, and infants, but exclude newborns. The guidelines also provide updated instructions on rates and cycles for chest compressions and rescue breaths.

    Old Way:
    • A - Airway
    • B - Breathing
    • C - Circulation
    New Way:
    • C - Circulation
    • A - Airway
    • B - Breathing
    Circulation/Compressions
    • The new first step is doing chest
    compressions instead of first
    establishing the airway and then
    doing mouth to mouth.
    • The new guidelines apply to adults,
    children, and infants but exclude
    newborns.
    Review
    • Attempt to wake victim, and assess ABC’s
    • Alert EMS/911 if any are absent
    • Begin chest compressions (100/min)
    • Open airway with Head Tilt/Chin lift Maneuver
    after 30 compressions
    • Provide two rescue breaths
    • Repeat 5 cycles of 30 compressions & 2
    rescue breaths for about two minutes
    …Continued
    • After two minutes, reassess victim for
    breathing and circulation, if no improvement,
    continue CPR until EMS arrival
    • If you saw the victim collapse, put an AED on
    right away. If not, attach it after approximately
    one minute of CPR (chest compressions and
    rescue breaths).
