CPR Compression & Ventilation Rates with Advanced Airway (Adult)

For 2 rescuer CPR with an advanced airway (such as an endotracheal tube or supraglottic airway) in an adult person, the correct compression and ventilation rates are as follows:

Compression Rate:

- Compressions should be performed at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute.

- This is the same rate as for standard CPR without an advanced airway.

Ventilation Rate:

- Deliver breaths at a rate of 8 to 10 breaths per minute.

- This is slower than the ventilation rate for standard CPR without an advanced airway (which is 10 to 12 breaths per minute).

- Time each breath to last approximately 1 second

Compression Depth:

- Aim for a compression depth of at least 2 inches (5 centimeters) on adults.

Compression-to-ventilation Ratio:

- Maintain a compression-to-ventilation ratio of 30:2.

- This means delivering 30 compressions before providing 2 rescue breaths.

Remember to follow the guidelines and recommendations provided by healthcare professionals and reputable sources when performing CPR. Regular training and certification in CPR and advanced airway management are essential to ensure proper and effective life-saving interventions.
