Oxygenation and ventilation: Once the position and seal are obtained, bagging can commence. The rate of ventilation for an adult is 10-12 breaths per minute or, approximately 1 bag squeeze every 5-6 seconds.4 The bag should be depressed for a full 1-2 seconds and then released.
Excessive tidal volumes are to be avoided, thus one-handed bag ventilation may be ideal. Compressions should be > 100/min (10:1 ratio). You must allow full recoil of the chest (for ventricular filling). The survival rate for in-hospital cardiac arrest is 15% [J Am Board Fam Pract 6: 91, 1993 (19,955 subjects)]. The problem with CPR is that while systolic BP can be as high as 50 mm Hg, the arteriovenous difference is negligible.
