Excessive ventilation during CPR can lead to complications such as increased intrathoracic pressure, which may hinder effective chest compressions and reduce blood flow to vital organs. It can also cause hyperventilation, leading to respiratory alkalosis and a decrease in carbon dioxide levels, which may impair the body's ability to circulate oxygen effectively. This can ultimately reduce the chances of successful resuscitation and recovery. Therefore, it's crucial to deliver ventilations at a controlled rate and volume.
There are 30 chest compressions between ventilation's for 1-rescuer CPR.
For every 30 compressions, you give 2 rescue breaths.

During CPR the lungs and heart are stimulated.
When breaths are given too rapidly during CPR, air can enter the stomach instead of the lungs, leading to gastric inflation. This can increase intra-abdominal pressure, potentially complicating ventilation and reducing the effectiveness of chest compressions. It may also cause regurgitation, increasing the risk of aspiration. Proper technique and timing of breaths are crucial to avoid these complications.
the same as for 1 person CPR 30:2 (Compression:Breaths)
For 1-person CPR the compression-ventilation ratio for children (and adults and infants) are 30 compressions to 2 breaths.
Baking soda should not be used in CPR.
During CPR the heart and lungs are stimulated.
In an unconscious victim you perform CPR the same for an obstructed airway as you would for regular CPR with one exception, before attempting ventilation you should look for the object in the mouth and if you see it, remove it. But never perform a blind finger sweep!
