It is definitely worth refreshing... I did a first-aid course before I came to China that was based around helping someone who was in a motorbike accident (I ride motorbikes, hence choosing this type of first-aid). When I did it they had just changed the way that you give CPR - the number/speed of compressions had increased. The new CPR method apparently has a much higher survival rate.

I did the CPR training when I was in high school and I thought it was a great thing! My dad is very impressive and saved life through his work before being retired! If there is one advice you girls go get the training! I'd love to refresh my basics though!
