Mouth-to-Mouth Not Necessary for Effective CPR
December 18th, 2007 | by David Reiner, M.D. |
CPR, also known as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, is well recognized as being a potentially life saving technique when performed quickly on somebody who has a sudden cardiac arrest(stopping of the heart). A simpler version of CPR where one administers only chest compressions without mouth-to-mouth resuscitation may be just as effective as standard CPR with mouth-to-mouth respiration given.
Two studies published this month in Circulation: the Journal of the American Heart Association, compared both of these methods for individuals who suffered out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The first study out of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm reported on 11,275 patients. 73% received standard CPR, 10% received chest compression only CPR, and 17% received only mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. 20% of patients receiving compression only CPR survived versus 19.6% of patients receiving standard CPR survived until hospital arrival. Both of these methods were superior to mouth-to-mouth resuscitation only. After 1 month the survival of these 2 groups remained similar as well.
The second study from the Kyoto University Health Service in Japan found similar results when they analyzed 4900 witnessed cardiac arrests. Additionally, they found that 1 year survival with favorable neurological outcome(adequate brain function) was superior with either of these forms of CPR when compared to no CPR given.
Both of these studies comment on the low rate of bystander CPR being performed, and mention such factors as fear of contracting contagious illnesses, or the inability to perform a complicated task in the setting of extreme emotional anxiety. Since chest compression only CPR is much simpler to perform, if adopted as the standard it could potentially contribute to a substantially higher percentage of bystanders performing it, and hence saving many lives.

Why erectile dysfunction (ED) happens?
ED can be caused by things like stress or fatigue. But a lot of times, ED is not something that you can control. That’s because it’s often due to a physical problem that affects your blood flow.
When a man has ED, the nerves or blood vessels in the penis don’t work properly. This prevents blood from flowing to the penis. And that can prevent an erection.
Causes of ED.
ED is often related to other health issues that can affect the flow of blood to the penis. Issues such as
* High blood pressure
* High cholesterol
* Heart disease
* Diabetes
* Prostate problems
* Stress
* Depression
No matter what the cause, treatment with a product such as ERECTifix Rx is usually effective.

Better than VIAGRA!
Like Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra, ERECTifix Rx is an oral aphrodisiac that stimulates erectile function. ERECTifix Rx helps most men with ED improve their erections. This means they are able to achieve harder erections. But unlike Viagra and the others, ERECTifix Rx is an edible film strip that dissolves on contact and usually works almost immediately. You will be ready and raring to go within seconds as opposed to the 30 minutes that Viagra needs to take effect. Additionally, ERECTifix Rx Strips are so small you can carry a whole supply tucked into your wallet, like a book of stamps, always ready to use.
Getting an erection is only half the story. Maintaining one is just as important. ERECTifix Rx can help with both. This can lead to a more satisfying sexual experience with your partner. As an added bonus, ERECTifix Rx will also freshen up your breath at the same time with the great taste of cinnamon.
Who can take ERECTifix Rx?
* Men of all ages
* Men who have difficulty all the time or just some of the time
* Men with other health issues such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression
See for yourself why ERECTifix Rx Strips more than exceed the sexual demands of every man and more than surprises the wildest hopes, dreams and expectations of every woman. ERECTifix Rx is an absolute must for sexually active men, or men shamed into sexual retirement due to erectile dysfunction.
