The compression ventilation rate refers to the speed at which air is pushed into a space, often used in contexts like ventilation systems or emergency situations. It is typically measured in terms of air changes per hour (ACH) or cubic feet per minute (CFM). In emergency medical scenarios, such as CPR, it can also refer to the rate of breaths given during resuscitation efforts. Proper ventilation rates are crucial for maintaining air quality and ensuring adequate oxygen supply.
30 compression and 2 ventilation
Adults over the age of 18+ - 12 to 20 breaths per minute
For 1-person CPR the compression-ventilation ratio for children (and adults and infants) are 30 compressions to 2 breaths.
For every 30 compressions, you give 2 rescue breaths.
The ventilation rate of industrial ventilation should exceed the supply rate by 10%. There is a detailed description of these rates in the Lab Ventilation ACH Rates Standards and Guidelines manual.

30 compressions to 2 breaths.
The compression and ventilation ratio for a two-person rescue CPR is 15 compression and 2 breaths.
It will induce a respiratory alkalosis, as carbon dioxide is washed out of the blood by the increased ventilation rate.
Pulmonary Ventilation = Tidal volume X ventilation rate Simply rearrange the equation to find tidal volume Tidal volume = Pulmonary ventilation / ventilation rate Pulmonary ventilation is the volume of air moved into the lungs in one minute Tidal volume is the volume of air breathed in in one breath whilst at rest Ventilation rate is the number of breaths taken in one minute
