How do you perform CPR on a ventilator patient?

When a patient on a ventilator requires CPR, medical staff normally disconnect the patient from the ventilator and deliver the rescue breaths manually with an AMBU bag. The AMBU bag is attached to the endotrachial or trachial tube; which is the site where the ventilator tubing was originally connected. Compressions can be performed as ordered by the staff member in charge; newer patient beds can become firm by pressing a button. Otherwise, it is common practice to place a backboard under the patient to allow for more effective compression delivery.
