Singapore: You can still save a person\'s life even if you have not been taught how to do mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.That is according to a recent study by the Singapore General Hospital (SGH) and the National Heart Centre Singapore on people who have learnt chest-compression skills versus those who have gone through standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training, which consists of chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. \r\nSGH is now planning to expand the pool of people willing to respond to emergencies with an easy-to-learn CPR training programme, which also teaches participants to follow a medical expert\'s instructions in performing CPR and to use an automated external defibrillator. |
