This is absolutely insane! The only thing this is going to change, is them saying, “Oh, I guess this doesn’t work. Let’s change it back.” The ONLY reason they are doing this is for money, plain and simple. Many EMS textbook publishers had to hold off printing new scope of practice textbooks, just to wait for the AHA to change their guidelines. You watch, a few years down the road, they will change it yet again. And in EMS, with a world full of acronyms, changing from the standard ABC (which we will have to remember still), they now have moved it to CAB. This is just frustrating.
