The last time I took CPR certification the instructor said it shouldn't be taught anymore because it is essentially useless in day-to-day life. The speed at which the brain dies without immediate hospital attention is just too rapid for CPR to be effective outside of a hospital.
EDIT: I'm not lying, I was literally told this by the person performing the certifications. She said only 1 in 20 people survive without severe brain damage. Which is better than death to some people I guess.
