Has Your Department Started Using CCR?

Our EMS service and county departments are switching protocols to start using CCR - Cardiocerebral resuscitation which is hands only CPR. Statisitcs have shown that the save rate can be as much as 10 times better than using traditional CPR.

If your department has been using CCR what can you tell us about its success or failure? What are the pro's & con's of using it.
