    Same will be done over here, the PHECC will promote hands only CPR but there will be an advocate that people should do a full CPR course where ventilations will be included. Shame they didn't raise the compression to breath ratio, reckon that woulod be a help.

    Depth of compressions now 2 inches at least, and the compressions has to be 100 not just a rate of 100.

    PHECC have been promoting a Hands Only CPR through their Citizen CPR Campaign to the general public since June.
