Why should you minimize interruption when giving chest compressions?
Minimizing interruptions of compressions during CPR has been shown to improve outcomes in patients in Cardiac Arrest. Some means of minimizing interruptions include: - Not stopping chest compressions to insert an Advanced Airway (generally not needed early in cardiac arrest) - Providing 100 compressions per minute, pushing hard and deep, and allowing full chest recoil. - Only performing pulse checks during rhythms analysis, typically at 2 minute intervals. - Providing CPR while the defibrillator is charging, clearing the patient's chest rapidly for shock delivery, and immediately resuming chest compressions post shock without delaying for rhythm analysis. An important part of minimizing interruptions during CPR is to ensure that high quality compressions are being performed at all times, switching compressors every 2 minutes is important to reduce rescuer fatigue.
What is the rate for performing chest compressions for victims of all ages?
30 seconds.
How many seconds should the breath be during adult CPR?

HOW WAS THE BLS SURVEY CHANGED IN 2010 ACLS GUIDELINES?
In the 2010 AHA guidelines, the BLS survey was changed to emphasize high-quality chest compressions over previous recommendations which included breathing assessments and pulse checks. The focus shifted to minimising interruptions in chest compressions to improve outcomes for cardiac arrest patients.
