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.
CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, consists of three main components: chest compressions, airway management, and rescue breaths. The primary focus is on delivering effective chest compressions to maintain blood circulation, while airway management ensures that the airway is clear, and rescue breaths provide oxygen to the lungs. In modern CPR guidelines, especially for untrained bystanders, hands-only CPR emphasizes compressions without rescue breaths.
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.
