The AHA has not said "Don't worry about CPR Training." Any child, any near-drowning victim, any drug overdose victim, and carbon monoxide victim still needs 30:2 CPR due to the small amount of oxygen remaining in the circulatory system.

Places - such as Seattle and the Atlanta airport - that have high concentrations of people who have been trained in CPR and easy access to AED's (Automatic External Defibrillators) enjoy out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest survival rates nearing ten times higher than the national average.

Not only do you need to get trained so that you know where to place your hands and how to do the chest compressions, but you also need to get all those around you trained, because if you have a sudden cardiac arrest, you are not the one who is going to do chest compressions on you.
