The fifth edition also provides guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), the Heimlich maneuver, and automated external defibrillators (AED). It offers information on treating concussions and heat-related illnesses as well as preventing and recognizing methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus infections (MRSA). Strategies for greatly reducing athletes’ risk of injury or illness are also featured.
