Hands only CPR - No kissing!

Vinnie Jones is here to teach us a lesson. This is brilliant! Watch it if you haven't already seen it! Although it seems that the public are getting a bit of a mixed message about CPR. Since 2005 we've gone from:
2 breaths, then 15 chest compressions to 2 breaths,
to
30 compressions then 2 breaths
to
Just compressions.
Is this evidence based or is simplification the best way to improve outcomes? Only criticism is not enough emphasis on calling for HELP - I think that is THE most important thing to do in an arrest situation!!

    Nice Hands only CPR tutorial. I agree with you on the fact that the instructor did not emphasize calling for help immediately. It is always important to call 911 before you begin giving CPR.
