    • Abstract:
      This article reports that according to Paul Pepe, chairman of emergency medicine at the University of Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, Texas cardiopulmonary resuscitation instructions that are given over the telephone by emergency dispatchers to lay rescuers should focus primarily on continuous chest compressions instead of the traditional airway, breathing, circulation. Pepe, along with international colleagues from the Council of Standards for the National Academies of Emergency Dispatch, recommended these revisions in the spring of 2005.
