What are the 4 major components to high-quality CPR?

Five main components of high-performance CPR have been identified: chest compression fraction (CCF), chest compression rate, chest compression depth, chest recoil (residual leaning), and ventilation. These CPR components were identified because of their contribution to blood flow and outcome.

How do you assess the quality of CPR?

High-quality CPR performance metrics include:

1. Chest compression fraction >80%
2. Compression rate of 100-120/min.
3. Compression depth of at least 50 mm (2 inches) in adults and at least 1/3 the AP dimension of the chest in infants and children.
4. No excessive ventilation.

What are the guidelines for CPR?

Hands-Only CPR is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths….About High-Quality CPR

• Minimize interruptions in chest compressions.
• Provide compressions of adequate rate and depth.
• Avoid leaning on the victim between compressions.
• Ensure proper hand placement.
• Avoid excessive ventilation.

What are the new standards for CPR?

The AHA continues to make a strong recommendation for chest compressions of at least two inches but not more than 2.4 inches in the adult patient, based on moderate quality evidence. In contrast, there is a moderate-strength for compression rates of 100-120 compressions per minute, based on moderate quality evidence.
