Did You Know? No mouth-to-mouth is required in new CPR rules, except in some cases. See the article at MSNBC Health Caution: Read the entire article. Note the quote that says, "A child who collapses is more likely to primarily have breathing problems — and in that case, mouth-to-mouth breathing should be used. That also applies to adults who suffer lack of oxygen from a near-drowning, drug overdose, or carbon monoxide poisoning. In these cases, people need mouth-to-mouth to get air into their lungs and bloodstream." For more information, see the American Heart Association web site.
