What are the correct compressions and ventilation rates for a 2 rescuer CPR?

For a 2 rescuer CPR, the correct compressions and ventilation rates are as follows:

1. Compressions:

- Rate: 100-120 compressions per minute

- Depth: At least 5 cm (2 inches) for adults, 4 cm (1.5 inches) for children, and 3.8 cm (1.5 inches) for infants.

2. Ventilation:

- Rate: 8-10 breaths per minute

- Volume: Sufficient to make the chest rise visibly

The compression to ventilation ratio should be 30:2 for both adults and children. This means performing 30 chest compressions followed by 2 breaths before resuming compressions.

Remember:

- Provide high-quality chest compressions by pressing down hard and fast, allowing the chest to fully recoil between compressions.

- Minimize interruptions in chest compressions.

- Ensure that the airway is open during rescue breaths.

- Follow the recommended compression and ventilation rates and ratio to provide effective CPR.
