Key points:

• Rate of compressions: At least 100/min (Push Fast)

• Ratio compression/breaths 30:2

• Minimize interruptions in compressions to 10 secs or less

A. Airway: Make or maintain patent

o Advanced Airway: must weigh the benefit

o Suction as needed, Suction on withdrawal for advanced airway

o For trach’s don’t tie to tight may cut off venous blood flow

B. Breathing: Are ventilations and O2 sat adequate

o O2 sat ≥ 94% if pulse is present

o Avoid excessive ventilations

o Breaths should just make the chest rise

o Waveform capnography (ETCO2)

▪ Normal is 35-40 mm Hg
