This is the VOA Special English Health Report.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, can save the life of someone whose heart has

stopped. The condition is called cardiac arrest. The heart stops pumping blood. The

person stops breathing. Without lifesaving measures, the brain starts to die within four

to six minutes.

CPR combines breathing into the victim's mouth and repeated presses on the chest.

CPR keeps blood and oxygen flowing to the heart and brain.

However, a new Japanese study questions the usefulness of mouth-to-mouth

breathing.

The study was published in the British medical magazine, The Lancet. Doctors in Tokyo

led the research. It examined more than four thousand people who had suffered

cardiac arrest. In all the cases, witnesses saw the event happen.

More than one thousand of the victims received some kind of medical assistance from

witnesses. Seven hundred and twelve received CPR. Four hundred and thirty-nine

received chest presses only. No mouth-to-mouth rescue breaths were given to them.

The researchers say any kind of CPR improved chances of the patient's survival. But,

they said those people treated with only chest presses suffered less brain damage. 

Twenty-two percent survived with good brain ability. Only ten percent of the victims 

treated with traditional CPR survived with good brain ability.

The American Heart Association changed its guidelines for CPR chest presses in two

thousand five. It said people should increase the number of chest presses from fifteen

to thirty for every two breaths given.

Gordon Ewy is a heart doctor at the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Tucson.

He wrote a report that appeared with the study. Doctor Ewy thinks the CPR guidelines

should be changed again. He said the heart association should remove rescue breaths

from the guidelines.

He argues that more witnesses to cardiac arrests would provide treatment if rescue

breaths are not a part of CPR. He says this would save lives. Studies show that many

people do not want to perform mouth-to-mouth breathing on a stranger for fear of

getting a disease.

Cardiac arrest kills more than three hundred thousand people in the United States

every year. The American Heart Association says about ninety-five percent of victims

die before they get to a medical center.
