Risk of acquiring AIDS from salivary exchange through cardiopulmonary resuscitation courses and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

In summary, the risk of transmission of HIV and other infectious diseases by saliva during CPR training practice is extremely low because of low infectious virus titers and properties of saliva that inhibit HIV. However, it is necessary to perform decontaminations of mannequins, by application of a suitable disinfectant and by a mechanical wipe-down with a sponge, to cleanse the external buccal area of the mannequin after contact with each CPR trainee. For health care and public safety professionals training and performance of MTM ventilation during CPR should be carried out with barrier devices such as the bag-valve-mask or face shield. Guidelines and standards of the AHA, American Red Cross, and the CDC for prevention of infection during CPR and emergency cardiac care are more fully available elsewhere. If the recommended procedures are followed, the risk of acquiring HIV from saliva during MTM should be extremely low.

Dispatcher-assisted "phone" cardiopulmonary resuscitation by chest compression alone or with mouth-to-mouth ventilation.

Based on both animal studies and field studies of the process and intermediate outcomes related to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), we initiated a randomized trial of dispatcher-assisted CPR, with the intervention arm receiving instructions for chest compression only and the control arm receiving standard instructions for airway maintenance ventilation, and chest compression. Of 241 patents randomized to chest compression instructions only, 35 survived (14.6%) compared with 29 of 279 (10.4%) patients in the control arm (p = .09). These results may have implications for future guidelines and teaching CPR.
