Next action? | Start high-quality CPR, beginning with chest compressions. |
| What is the ratio of chest compressions to breaths when providing CPR to an adult? | 30 compressions to 2 breaths |
| What are the rate and depth for chest compressions on an adult? | A rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute and a depth of at least 2 inches. |
| What action should you take when more rescuers arrive? | Assign tasks to other rescuers and rotate compressors every 2 minutes or more frequently if need to avoid fatigue. |

| What should you do when using an AED on an infant or a child younger than 8 years of age? | Use adult AED pads if the AED does not have child pads. |
