Most cardiac arrests are caused by ventricular fibrillation. There is only a 18 second delay, while clearing the airway is difficult and time-consuming. It is challenging for laypeople, so it would be better if the procedure was simplified so more people could provide assistance. The current procedure involves assessing consciousness, then checking airway, breathing, and circulation. However, this process takes too long, and delaying chest compressions and defibrillation reduces survival chances by 7-10% per minute. Simplifying the procedure to just chest compressions could result in more people providing critical early assistance.

Penundaan hanya 18 detik, sdangkan airway itu susah dan memakan waktu Susah bagi orang awam, harappnya kalo diubah lebih banyak yang tetrolong
acknowledging that chest compressions are the most
important aspect of the cardiac arrest management.
However, until recently, the basic formula has
remained the same, which involves assessing the conscious state, then checking the Airway, Breathing and Circulation
response time of trained health care providers,
type of cardiac rhythm on presentation, whether the event was witnessed, and whether the victim received any chest compressions. Regrettably, effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is performed in only 15-30% of these victims.
For every minute that CPR and defibrillation is
delayed, the chances of survival fall by 7% to 10%. It has also been observed that bystanders do not provide CPR most of the times as they find providing rescue breaths the hardest or are not willing to do so. By changing the sequence to C-A-B, chest compressions will be initiated
