They credited an ER doctor in Tucson with modifying the standard CPR procedure. In the interview, the doc noted that often CPR is not initiated by bystanders because they are very concerned about mouth-to-mouth transmission of disease. Further, said the doc, even in the standard CPR procedure, stopping the compressions to do the breathing disrupts any cardiac momentum that the compressions were building up. EMS responders in Tucson are now doing CPR with compressions only. NBC National News covered this last week. They credited an ER doctor in Tucson with modifying the standard CPR procedure.

Yeah, you hype a kid up on sugar they have a tendency to misbehave and not sit still. You give them good foods (diary and fresh growing stuff) and they build strong minds and bodies. WHY is this news? I can't tell you, but I was shocked it even NEEDED to be studied. Not really that connected to CPR, but the study reminded me... Oh, Gracias por tu ayuda amigo. :) According to a recent Oxford Mail article, diet and behaviour are linked, especially in children!
