I took a class last summer for work, and they taught us to pump 30 times then give them a breath, but I just heard someone say the other day that they don't recommend the breaths anymore. Just compressions?
yes based on the last class I took giving breaths is no longer required.
it is felt that doing compressions not only helps with cardiac function but also compresses/expands the lungs allowing oxygenation.
part of the argument is that more people will be willing to do something if they don't have to expose themselves to a stranger

Practically speaking, absolutely.
By the book, probably not. They change the breaths to compression ratio almost every year it seems.

Yes. I'm certified in both adults and infants due to my previous employer

Someone page me? 
I control your rescue Annie. I'm putting together the G2015 guideline update for online training including the adult, infant and new RQI initiative with the AHA that keeps your certifications for ACLS and BLS pushed out quarterly instead of a once every 2 year renewal.
As for the trained instructors in this thread.. Have you adopted the new guidelines yet?

While I retired 6 years ago, I keep my license current - and that means recertification in CPR every 2 years. However, they keep changing the way it is done. I just renewed a couple months ago, but in a pressure situation I think I'd end up doing it the original way I was taught. It's what is still ingrained in my brain. I don't think the changes matter much, as long as you're doing something that resembles proper CPR.

Before clicking the link, I knew it was Eric. He's one of the good guys and has been since he was a kid.

is it still 30 compressions to 2 breaths?
I went through a refresher last year. It was 30 and 1.
I doubt 30 and 2 would harm anyone though... especially if they were in a situation where they needed CPR.

I've done it once,successfully, and the hardest part was making the decision to try.
Generally speaking, any attempt is better than none, and if you ever have an opportunity to meet a thankful family, you will understand why.

The science changes and they improve CPR accordingly.
The last update was 2010 and now 2015 is rolling out.

Are they using cpr manuals from 1999?

It has been a while since my training, but i do remember that compressions are no longer important, it is all bout giving the person breaths. But only if they are hot.

Also manikins don't lie. You either apply proper force for compressions and ventilations or you're doing it wrong.
Instructors can be subjective.
Just because it's hard doesn't mean you get a CPR 'participation' license because you can't handle the chest compressions.

Did training in 2012 and the breaths were still recommended. The training I did in 2014 they instructed us on compression only with the breaths being optional.
I'm due for a refresher this year. I'm sure it has changed again.

Yes, did CPR on a STEMI activation twice yesterday. First guy survived after 30 min of CPR, shocking, and tons of epi. Other guy was dead on arrival, but still performed CPR for a few min
