How did AHA obtain the value for rate of 100 compressions per minute for CPR?

The normal heart rate of an adult is 60-100 beats per minute. 100 compressions per minute is the maximum rate at which the heart can be pumped while still filling all atria/ventricles adequately to achieve maximum tissue perfusion. If chest compressions were done faster, then in theory, the heart would not have time to fully fill. If they were done slower, maximum perfusion and cardiac pressure would not be attained.

What does the compression rate mean?
The compression rate is the amount of compressions per a unit of time. The CPR rate is 100 compressions per minute; which means if you gave compressions straight through, no stopping, for 1 minute, you would have given 100 compressions. However, we give 30 compressions and then give 2 breaths, then back to compressions, so we average 75 actual compressions per minute, but we give the compressions at a rate of 100 per minute.
