A la page internautique de Mantri Kampung Bicara Soal Komunikasi postee ou televersee par Eko Priyanto le vendredi, 9 mars 2007. les derneires recommendations sur le CPR sont donnees: en voici quelques lignes:

  • "Continue CPR until there are signs of movement or until emergency medical personnel take over.
  • Check the presence of carotid pulse by putting two finger on the carotid vein site, if none then start CPR by compressing the heart.
  • The rescuer should compress in the center of the chest at the nipple line.
  • The rescuer should compress the chest approximately 1 to 2 inches, using the heel of both hands" for adults.
  • "Lay rescuers should use a 30:2 compression-ventilation ratio for all (infant, child, and adult) victims. Healthcare providers should use a 30:2 compression-ventilation ratio for all 1-rescuer and all adult CPR and should use a 15:2 compression-ventilation ratio for infant and child 2-rescuer CPR."
