The correct CPR sequence for adult victims is actually "CAB," which stands for Circulation (chest compressions), Airway, and Breaths. This emphasizes the importance of starting with chest compressions to maintain blood circulation before addressing the airway and delivering rescue breaths. For infants and children, the sequence may vary slightly, often starting with airway assessment. Always ensure to call for emergency assistance before beginning CPR.
The sequence of 30 compressions to 2 breaths is what the Emergency Cardiac Care committee determined as the best sequence, all things considered.
30 compressions to 2 breaths for one rescuer and 15 compressions to 2 breaths for 2 rescuers (also use the two hands encircling thumbs position for 2 rescuers). The old compression ratio was 5 compressions to 1 breath.
A combination of breaths and chest compression cycles.
30 compressions to 2 breaths
30 compressions to 2 breaths
30 compressions to 2 breaths.
CPR ratio is 30 compressions to 2 breaths.
The compression and ventilation ratio for a two-person rescue CPR is 15 compression and 2 breaths.
30 chest compression then 2 breaths for an adult and 15 chest compression and 1 breath for an infant or child.
Compress the chest about 1 1/2 inches per compression.
You are correct; 30 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths.
For 1-person CPR the compression-ventilation ratio for children (and adults and infants) are 30 compressions to 2 breaths.
