KidneyNotes.com posts about the new CPR guidelines. As the post notes, the highlights are:
*The ratio of compressions-to-ventilations has been changed to 30:2
*Rescuers now deliver 1 shock (360J monophasic) followed by CPR, not 3 shocks
*Lay rescuers no longer check for circulation
*Many other algorithms have been simplified
These are published in the Nov 29, 2005 issue of Circulation.
