Detailed explanation-1: -Aim for 5 sets of 30 chest compressions to 2 breaths in about 2 minutes. If you can’t do mouth-to-mouth, stick with continuous compressions at a rate of approximately 100 per minute. To perform CPR on adults and older children: A=Airways – open the person’s airways (nose, mouth and throat) and check they are clear.
Detailed explanation-2: -Thirty chest compressions followed by two rescue breaths is considered one cycle. Be careful not to provide too many breaths or to breathe with too much force. Resume chest compressions to restore blood flow. As soon as an automated external defibrillator (AED) is available, apply it and follow the prompts.
Detailed explanation-3: -Give 30 compressions followed by 2 breaths, known as “30:2”. Aim for 5 sets of 30:2 in about 2 minutes (if only doing compressions about 100 – 120 compressions per minute).
Detailed explanation-4: -One of the biggest changes in the guidelines – implemented in 2005 – was to move from 15 compressions/2 breaths (15:2) to 30:2. The intention was to increase the number of chest compressions delivered per minute and reduce interruptions in chest compressions.
