Description:

The paper reviews the 2006 international and Australian changes to cardiopulmonary resuscitation guidelines and explores the rationale behind these decisions. The paper reveals that these changes are shown to be more effective and to result in more post-cardiac survival success. The paper concludes that it is critically important that these new and revised guidelines be published widely.

From the Paper:

"Noted in regards to resuscitation in late pregnancy is that in the woman who is obviously pregnant the uterus exerts pressure on the main abdominal vessels when she is lying flat which in turn reduces venous return to the heart therefore the pregnant woman should be placed on her back with her shoulder flat and padding under the right hip to provide a tilt of the pelvic area to the left. (Consensus on Resuscitation Science & Treatment Recommendations Part 4: Advanced Life Support Resuscitation 2005, in Australian Resuscitation Council, 2006). It is additionally noted that CPR skills performance experiences a rapid decline following competency being initially achieved making it a requirement that CPR skills undergo annual reassessment.
