Plagarised?[edit]

I hate to say this, but this seems plagarised, it goes completely off the subject and makes references to things which don't appear Matt2501 12:33, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this is not suitable for a wiki entry. Appears to be an undergraduate essay, containing irrelevant information, no sourcing, and a very Christian and US-centred view. Looks like someone's created the subject because the essay had been written, not the other way around.

Am I being dense? Where does it say what the abbreviation CPR means?84.56.104.23 21:43, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Quite right, it doesn't say. i'll add it later if i get a moment. In terms of plagarism, I spent quite a lot of time rearranging this in to a wiki format, and i think the article should stand, but be improved by wiki editors, because teh facts are good and relevant

Redirect?[edit]

The CPR article has a section on history of CPR. What about redirecting this article there and editing that history section to include these references? Lateknightucd (talk) 19:51, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please disregard the redirect proprosal...my mistake...I'm still getting into the swing of editing. Thanks for the info all! Lateknightucd (talk) 18:03, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to delete the section on Ancient History. This is a far stretch from CPR, even in terms of intertextual Biblical evidence! If someone wants to write a separate article on "medical resuscitation in ancient times", that would be preferable than resurrecting this section on an article about modren CPR!

Source for other methods[edit]

This link: http://www.lf3.cuni.cz/en/departments/anesteziologie/vyuka/studijni-materialy/resuscitation/index.html

from a Czech university has some interesting information on past techniques, but i haven't got time to include them at the moment. Hopefully i'll come back to it, unless someone gets there first. OwainDavies ^(about)_(talk) edited at 10:16, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

CPR Switch: Chest Presses First, Then Give Breaths[edit]

This article needs an improvement: Heart group flips the old "ABC" -- airway, breathing, compressions -- to "CAB"! Story--Angeldeb82 (talk) 22:53, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The development of emergency medical services[edit]

I have just removed the entire section "The development of emergency medical services", for two reasons:

1. large parts of this text have been plagiarized from copyrighted sources. For example,

Our article	The source
The Seattle paramedic program did more than pioneer paramedics and promote the tiered response system. It was the first program in the world to make citizens part of the emergency system. Cobb knew from data the program had collected that the sooner CPR was started, the better the chances of survival. He reasoned that the best way to ensure early initiation of CPR was to train the bystanders. Thus Cobb, with the support of Vickery, began a program in 1972 called Medic 2. Its goal was to train over 100,000 people in Seattle how to do CPR. Cobb recalled how the idea was first proposed:.

2. this entire topic belongs in the emergency medical services page.
