All the discussion
Hi there Jack,

just a bit of explanation for you about what's going on, and why your good faith edits have been reverted. First off, this is an international encyclopaedia, so we need to reflect the international standards - this means we usually follow ILCOR, which is the international body, of which the European Resuscitation Council is a member, and of which in turn the Resuscitation Council UK is a member. Now they don't always have the same guidelines at the same time, so the international version tends to take precedence.

Secondly, there are differences even within a country like the UK - the current resus council guidelines for professional rescuers (doctors, nurses etc.) is for paediatric resus is 3:1 for neonate and 15:2 for child, but for lay rescuers (including lifeguards) it is all the same, to aid memory. And for all cases the rate is "at least 100 but not greater than 120 min" (emphasis mine). More information on paed resus at this link or the adult one is in my link above.

I hope that makes it clear, but what is taught in lay rescue situations is not always the same as what professionals are taught or what it is worldwide.

Any questions or comments, then please let me know!
