30 cardiac compressions plus 2 lung inflations times 4,626 equals a new Largest CPR training session Guinness World Records™ record!

104 school buses transported 4,626 Arlington Independent school district eighth grade students to Cowboys stadium, located in Arlington, Texas, to take part in the 30 minute training session.

Guinness World Records™ adjudicator Danny Girton Jr. was on the field to verify the 17 November training session, which was taught by qualified medical practitioners and facilitators.

The Guinness World Records™ record attempt was featured as part of Arlington Mayor Robert Cluck's community CPR program known as 'CPaRlington'.

'CPaRlington' was formulated in 2005 as a partnership among Arlington Fire Department officials; representatives from the UTA School of Nursing; and the American Heart Association; with an objective to train 10% of Arlington's citizens in CPR over the following five yeards.

According to event sources 25,140 citizens have received training from CPaRlington as of mid-way through 2009: nearly 70% of Mayor Cluck's five year goal.
