Well If I was to witness a need for CPR out of the hospital setting, I see where this would certainly be more benefitical than the previous way, but of course in the hospital where staff is qualified to handle the situation we do it differently...

But for someone to start CPR as soon as possible, I can see this working...and please as Mike has said, everyone really needs to learn this...it may be your own family, loved ones, that you save...this video is very good and shows the effects and reasons for CPR and explains the steps and actions in detail....I'm passing this along to the hospital where I work and to ones that I know that teach CPR...
