I just completed my CPR Instructor recert and this is what they passed on. Those of us in the medical field must continue to do 30 - 2 compressions/breaths and when teaching other medical personnel you teach it that way. The compressions only is for the lay person. The reasoning behind this is that they found that a lay person is more apt to give CPR if they do not have to do mouth to mouth. Also something I found interesting, as an Instructor I'm not permitted to teach two man CPR to a lay person. AHA certs are good for two yrs and must get any updates every six months while RC is annually.
