New CPR guidelines

These step-by-step health graphics are so popular as you can imagine, especially if the rendering is presented simply and the text is edited really tightly.

The American Heart Association released the new guidelines early in the day and I worked with the medical reporter and editor to get this out as soon as possible. The new process states to directly apply chest compressions to keep oxygenated blood flowing through the body, especially to the brain, skipping the mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Here is the earlier version of this process I did before the new guidelines were released. It ran for weeks as an "Editors' Pick" on Yahoo! News.
