What type of move would you use to get a patient on to a hard surface to perform compressions?
This depends on your local EMS protocols. For the average citizen and with an otherwise uninjured patient, anything that works. If the pt. is on a bed, you can pull them off with a sheet, by their arms, or by their clothes. The most important thing is to rapidly begin CPR and to call 911.

What is the Adult CPR compression ratio?
30 compressions to 2 breaths. 2nd Answer: Perhaps not . . . the American Heart Association and the American Red Cross have approved and recommended the so-called "hands-only" CPR. You give chest compressions in the standard position, but you sort of bounce up and down on the patient's chest - perhaps 40 compressions or more per minute. You are doing it at the right rate if you are naturally bouncing up and down, like you would if you were giving chest compressions to a rubber ball. This method results in a good balance between doing the patient some good, while minimizing your fatigue. There are no breaths given in hands-only CPR.
What does the compression rate mean?
The compression rate is the amount of compressions per a unit of time. The CPR rate is 100 compressions per minute; which means if you gave compressions straight through, no stopping, for 1 minute, you would have given 100 compressions. However, we give 30 compressions and then give 2 breaths, then back to compressions, so we average 75 actual compressions per minute, but we give the compressions at a rate of 100 per minute.
