Emergency medical services in many cities have begun advising 911 callers to give a person who has collapsed chest compressions but not mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.1 In emergencies, lives are generally saved or lost in the first six minutes, so trying to explain mouth-to-mouth procedures to callers was wasting precious time and doing more harm than good. In addition, new research suggests that mouth-to-mouth resuscitation is not effective in the first few minutes after a collapse. Therefore, emergency medical dispatchers are explaining to untrained callers only how to perform chest compressions to mimic2 a steady heartbeat until paramedics can arrive. Adapted from Robert Davis, “Simpler Method for CPR Adopted,” USA Today, February 24, 2004, 1A. Main Idea: a. Many emergency medical services dispatchers are no longer explaining to callers how to give a victim mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. b. Emergency medical services are advising people not to try to save someone who has collapsed. c. Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation is very difficult to perform properly. d. Research has shown that mouth-to-mouth resuscitation does more harm than good.
