With the new guidlines, we'll see many more blisters happening as well as sore triceps.

Amen to that. I just did a CPR update course where we practiced doing the new compression:breath ratios. Wow....what a workout.

I wonder if the auto chest thumpers will become more commonplace given the new guidlines and the theories behind them... Money does come first though, so who knows.

The new guidelines also recomend changing the person doing compressions every two minutes, should cut down on blisters.

Hopefully it can, they found that people weren't saying that they wre tired for about 5min, but after 2min the quality of compressions went to crap.

It's true........they've got pretty good data with art lines showing how compressions start to really go downhill with the same person doing compresssions and then when a new person jumps on the chest the waveform significantly increases again.

So, not doing any body any favors by trying to be the toughguy and do CPR forever even though your exhausted. 😉
