Created in the 1960's, CPR or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, helped improve the chances of surviving a medical emergency. In 2008 the American Heart Association updated their guidelines to remove rescue breaths to encourage the untrained public to focus on hands only CPR to decrease barriers people often feel to intervening during emergencies.

Certified responders are still trained to provide rescue breaths.
