Steps

Performed?

Yes No

Component

Recommendations

Recognition

Unresponsive Adults

No breathing or no normal breathing (i.e., gasping)

No palpated pulse within 5-10 seconds

CCR

Circulation to the brain takes several compressions to initiate

Compression Rate

100-120/minute

Compression Depth

2-2.4 inches

Chest Wall Recoil

Allow complete recoil between compressions

Rotate compressors every 2 minutes

Compression

Interruptions

Minimize interruptions in chest compressions

Attempt to limit interruptions to < 10 seconds

Airway

Passive oxygen insufflation with NRB at 100% FiO2

Compression to

Ventilation Ratio

(until advanced airway is

placed)

200 continuous compressions x 4 cycles

Ventilation with

Advanced Airway

Withheld until 4 CCR cycles are complete

Defibrillation

Performed between cycles of compressions if indicated.

Minimize interruptions in chest compressions before and after

shock. Resume compressions immediately after each shock.

Drugs

IO Epinephrine 1:10,000 1mg between compression cycles.
