"--Modern CPR (for adults) no longer includes rescue breaths. Mouth-to-mouth was too much of a turnoff, and chest compressions alone are very effective given the response times of ambulances."
I heard this years ago, and both times that I took CPR certification classes since then, we did mouth-to-mouth anyway. I guess different courses are different.
It depends on who teaches it. I believe the American Heart Association got rid of rescue breaths but the American Red Cross still trains for two breaths every 30 compressions.
