Where are the AHA protocols?

[Guest emtb23]

I can't find the 2000 AHA CPR protocols online anywhere!

Why is it so hard to find them? Aren't a lot of agencies still using them?

Help!

It looks like the AHA pulled the online version of the guidelines from thier site in favor of the new 2005 guidelines. The only thing I could find easiy was a site where you could order a hard copy from the usual sources:

http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jht...ntifier=3012497

There are several sites that compare and contrast the 2000 vs 2005 guidelines. Just google for them.

Also note that "protocol" is technically improper. They are just guidelines. Protocols are issued by your local certifying agency (in NY's case the NYS DOH).

Alright. I did a little searching and found them in all thier glory in the back issues of Circulation (August 22nd Issue NOT the 15th like they say on the other page - there is a whole supplement). Remember me at Christmas.
