In 2010, major changes were implemented that replaced ABC (Airway, Breathing, and Circulation) with CAB (Compressions, Airway, and Breathing). Today the guidelines remain the same with an emphasis being placed on better recognition, response, and reaction to the cardiac arrest. The following are the key elements of the 2015 update that layperson rescuers need to know: The 2010 basic cardiac life support (BCLS) algorithm addresses when to notify 911 once a victim is found to be unresponsive. 1:07 The 2015 BCLS update modifies the algorithm to reflect the probability that most callers can now activate 911 without leaving the patient's side due to the high percentage of cellular phone owners in the United States. The 2010 guidelines recommended that chest compressions be delivered at least 100 per minute. The 2015 update recommends that chest compressions be delivered between 100 and 120 per minute. Note: An upper limit was added to the 2015 algorithm to prevent ineffective blood circulation due to compression delivery rates over 120 per minute. The 2010 guideline recommends that adult chest compression depth should be at least 2 inches (5 cm). The 2015 update recommends adult chest compression depth of at least 2 inches, but no more than 2.4 inches. Note: An upper chest compression depth limit of 2.4 inches (6 cm) was added in 2015 to avoid injury and ineffective compressions. https://www.americansti.org/CPRAED/training_RvH7GkJFvG2.php?page=164 2/3 6/6/24, 1:08 PM ASTI The Main Points of the 2015 Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Update for Layperson English Rescuers: There is a continuing emphasis on rapid recognition of unresponsiveness, calling 911 as quickly as possible, and initiating high-quality CPR with "hard-n-fast" compressions when a victim is found not breathing or exhibiting ineffective gasping. A heightened emphasis is placed on delivering high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation by: Compressing the chest at an adequate rate and depth to increase blood circulation to the vital organs 1:07 Allowing adequate time for complete chest recoil while maintaining a rate of 100 to 120/minute in adults Avoiding excessive or ineffective ventilations through proper rescue breathing Minimizing cardiopulmonary resuscitation interruptions Congratulations!
