Training in recent years called for 30 compressions, two breaths. Some lives were saved.
Local firefighters are now learning to perform 120 rapid compressions without pause — a revolutionary CPR method that has tripled the survival rate for victims of cardiac arrest.
The method was born in Seattle, where about 50 percent of cardiac-arrest patients are resuscitated after CPR.
The national average is 8 percent.
In Maryland, it’s less than 2 percent.

It's a shame our local Red Cross has dropped the ball in providing efficient training to our community. They could have offered this training.
Folks, this article is full of BAD INFORMATION. It is contradictory from paragraph to paragraph. Read it again carefully.
The only one dropping the ball is the reporter, by not understanding the story he is reporting on.
Yes, there are changes coming, but this is a very poor description of those changes.

How so? What is false in your eyes? Such a blanket statement with no reference point.
What was contradictory? I must have missed something.
