EXACTLY!
The AHA realizes that people hesitate, hands on CPR for circulation is best, and here is WHY, you do not know who is around the corner, behind your back, or just in the next booth. Get your hands on that persons chest to get the blood circulating. That's a helluva lot better than standing around on your cell phone watching someone turn blue and gasp, yes?
Addendum.....not all persons in arrest are considered non-viable. I see it day in and day out.
