CPR

The NYTimes and JAMA report that people don't do CPR perfectly....

DUH....It doesn't help that they changed how to do CPR at least five times in the last 15 years...and that if you do it too vigourously you break ribs (especially in little old ladies)...but here is the real reason I am suspicious of the report:

Both studies used an experimental monitor that assesses CPR quality, and both received financing from Laerdal Medical, a Norwegian company that developed the monitor with Philips Medical Systems, a subsidiary of Royal Philips Electronics of Amsterdam.

Duh...you think they are trying to sell their machines so we can use them to check we're doing it right?
