The chest compressions pump the blood but artificial respiration forces more oxygen into the blood by increasing the air pressure inside the lungs, even though the rescue breaths do not contain as much oxygen as "unused" air.
Thirty compressions to two breaths each cycle.
give breaths without chest compression
There are 30 chest compressions between ventilation's for 1-rescuer CPR.
In two-rescuer child CPR, the compression-to-ventilation ratio is 15:2. This means that after every 15 chest compressions, the rescuers should provide 2 rescue breaths. The chest compressions should be performed at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute, using one or two hands depending on the size of the child, while ensuring that the breaths are given over 1 second each and make the chest rise visibly.
A normal chest compression is one and a half to two inches - but don't worry about it, whatever the depth of the compression, you will still cause the blood to move.
30 chest compression then 2 breaths for an adult and 15 chest compression and 1 breath for an infant or child.
Compress a child's chest 1 - 1 1/2 inches per compression.
Compress a child's chest 1 - 1 1/2 inches per compression.
Chest compressions involve rhythmic pressing down on the chest to help circulate blood when the heart is not pumping effectively. The movement is a downward force applied to the chest while the contraction is a compression of the heart between the sternum and the spine.
weight off from the victims chest
It is not important to wait for the chest to come back to its original position after each compression
The rate for CPR chest compressions is 100 per minute; adult, child, and infant.
