30 compressions to 2 breaths.
In cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), the recommended rate for chest compressions is 100 to 120 compressions per minute. This rhythm helps maintain adequate blood flow to the heart and brain during a cardiac arrest. It's important to ensure that compressions are performed at a consistent depth and allow for full chest recoil between compressions.
One Rescuer-Adult-Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation has a Ratio of:2 : 30 [2 Ventilations : 30 Compressions]Two Rescuer-Adult-Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation has a Ratio of:1 : 5 [1 Ventilation : 5 Compressions]
More than five million Americans annually receive training in CPR through American Heart Association and American Red Cross courses
In the 19th century, Doctor H. R. Silvester described a method (The Silvester Method) of artificial respiration in which the patient is laid on their back, and their arms are raised above their head to aid inhalation and then pressed against their chest to aid exhalation.[6] The procedure is repeated sixteen times per minute. This type of artificial respiration is occasionally seen in films made in the early part of the 20th century.
