Compression / Ventilation Ratio - Adult/Child/Infant (with advanced airway)

Deliver continuous compressions at 100-120 per minute Deliver 1 breath every 6 seconds

Compression / Ventilation Rate - Adult/Child/Infant

100-120 compressions per minute

Compression Depth - Child

At least one-third of the chest diameter or about 2 inches

Compression Depth - Infant

At least one-third of the chest diameter or about 1.25 inches

Compression Hand Placement - Adult

Place 2 hands on the patient’s chest (at the sternum) about at nipple line

Compression Hand Placement - Child

Place 2 hands on the patient’s chest at the sternum (If the child is very small, 1 hand might be appropriate)

Compression Hand Placement - Infant

1 rescuer: Place 2 fingers in the center of the patient’s chest (support the head!) 2+ rescuers: Place hands around the patient’s chest and use 2 thumbs at the center of the patient’s chest

Rescue Breathing Rate - Adult

1 breath every 5-6 seconds Volume - enough to see a chest raise and no more Avoid excessive ventilation

Rescue Breathing Rate - Child/Infant

1 breath every 3-5 seconds Volume - enough to see a chest raise and no more Avoid excessive ventilation

When to activate EMS when alone - Adult

Alone with a cell phone: activate EMS, then locate an AED and begin CPR Alone without a cell phone: leave the patient to activate EMS, locate an AED and begin CPR

When to activate EMS when you are alone - Child/Infant

WARNING NEED TO CONFIRM If you witnessed the collapse, locate an AED first, and activate EMS If you did not witness the collapse, give 2 minutes of CPR first, then locate an AED and activate EMS

Recognition of Cardiac Arrest - Adult/Child/Infant

collapsed lack of breathing no responsiveness no pulse found within 5-10 seconds

Max interruptions during CPR (in secs)

Keep any interruptions in chest compressions under 10 seconds

High Quality CPR Hint: there are 4

Chest Compression Fraction >80% Compression Rate of 100-120/min Compression Depth of at least 50 mm (2 inches) in adults and at least 1/3 the AP dimension of the chest in infants and children No excessive ventilation

Chest Compression Fraction

The amount of time not performing compressions divided by the total time of compressions. Goal is >80% Must be >60%
