If the patient is DNR, if the heart is beating, if the circumstances of the rescue (in water for instance) prevent the rescuer from administering compressions in a safe and effective way, or if the patient is obviously and clearly dead, and beyond the help or CPR.

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.


In basic life support what is the rate of compressions?

The current guidelines state 30:2, that is 30 compressions to two rescue breaths. This is due to new research being released that shows the first 7-10 compressions are used to overcome the arterial compliance that causes the vessels to close without blood flow and to reopen them, hence the raise from 15:2 to 30:2. -- Note, whilst ratio according to AHA/RCUK 2005 guidelines is 30:2, that is the radio of compressions to ventilations. The compressions should be delivered at a rate of 100/minute
