I was just reading an article about a toddler that was pulled out of icy water that received over 100 minutes of CPR (by many people) and survived. I recently received CPR and AED training at work after not having it for about 10 years. I was very rusty. It definitely should be a yearly training I think. In a real emergency, the average person does not have the strength to perform CPR for a long time- you need to take turns with other qualified people.
