Give cycles of 30 compressions to 2 breaths.
normal respiratory rate is 12-20 breaths per minute over 20 is called tachypnoea under 12 is called bradypnoea a patient in respiratory arrest will need artificial respiration until the cause is identified and treated. in basic life support you would give 2 rescue breaths to every 30 chest compressions ratio of 2:30 until advance life support arrives advance life support is the use of a ventalator
8-10 breaths/min for adults12-20 breaths/min for pediatrics
give breaths without chest compression
Give rescue breaths without compressions
The only difference an advanced airway would make is that you no longer have to discontinue compressions after every 30 to administer rescue breaths. You can continue compressions at a rate of 100 per minute, and give the rescue breaths with your BVM without pausing after every 30 compressions.
How do you give the breaths properly?
Give rescue breaths without compressions
Thirty compressions and two breaths per cycle.
If the patient is not breathing, after giving 30 chest compressions or straight away in a child or someone who has drowned
The current rate of compressions is 30 compressions to 2 breaths. Start off with 30 compressions then 2 breaths and continue 30:2 at a rate of 100 compressions per minute. However, if you have rescued someone from water give 5 initial breaths and then proceed as above.
