What is the ratio of chest compression to breaths in adult resuscitation?

What is the ratio of chest compression to breaths in adult resuscitation? Correct Answer 3 : 2

Explanation:

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)

  • CRR is an emergency lifesaving procedure performed when the heart stops beating.
  • Immediate CPR can double or triple the chances of survival after cardiac arrest.
  • It helps keeping the blood flow active even partially and extends the opportunity for a successful resuscitation once trained medical staff arrive on site.

There are two commonly known versions of CPR:

  1. For healthcare providers and those trained:
    • Conventional CPR using chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth breathing at a ratio of 30:2 compressions-to-breaths.
    • In adult victims of cardiac arrest, it is reasonable for rescuers to perform chest compressions at a rate of 100 to 120/min and to a depth of at least 2 inches (5 cm) for an average adult while avoiding excessive chest compression depths (greater than 2.4 inches ).
  2. For the general public:
    • Compression-only CPR, or Hands-Only CPR. Hands-Only CPR is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths. It is recommended for use by people who see a teen or adult suddenly collapse in an out-of-hospital setting (such as at home, at work, or in a park).
