Your body only uses 1/4 of oxygen inhaled. Longer in your lungs means more oxygen used, less energy consumed.

What is compression ventilation ratio for adult one person rescuer?

If you're a trained rescuer and you have appropriate equipment, 30 beats to 2 breaths. If you have no equipment or no training, just do compressions. Scientists have found it's far more effective to leave out the breaths entirely- after all, you're still compressing the lungs.


What are the differences between hands-only CPR and traditional CPR techniques?

Hands-only CPR involves only chest compressions without rescue breaths, while traditional CPR includes both chest compressions and rescue breaths.

Do you take more breaths or have more heartbeats in a lifetime?

In a lifetime, a person typically has more heartbeats than breaths. The average human heart beats about 100,000 times a day, which adds up to over 3 billion beats in a lifetime. In contrast, the average person takes around 20 breaths per minute, totaling approximately 10 million breaths per year. Over an entire lifetime, this usually results in fewer breaths than heartbeats.
