Effective CPR
You can remember the key aspects of effective CPR with the letters DVD-R. They stand for depth, ventilations, decompression and rate
of compression.
|
Depth
|
- Compress chest wall a full 1½ to 2 inches
- More in large patients
|
|
Ventilations
|
- 1 second duration
- Enough volume to make the chest rise
- 8-10/min with advanced airway
|
|
Decompression
|
- Allow complete decompression (recoil) of the chest after each compression
|
|
Rate of compression
|
- 100 compressions per minute
- Limit interruptions of chest compressions to no more than 10 seconds
