CAB ( circulation, airway, breathing) replaces ABCs( airway, breathing, circulation). Rate atleast 100 a minute and will be 18 sec or less for 30 chest compressions. Now it is compressions first if no pulse, THEN airway & breathing.
TEN TIPS FOR EFFECTIVE ADULT CPR :
1. If unresponsive, start CPR ( gasping is not beathing)
2. Check pulse, if no pulse, deliver 30 chest compressions before 2 breaths
3. Hands-only CPR is better than no CPR
4. Use a CPR ratio of 30 compressions to 2 breaths
5. Compress to a depth of atleast 2 inches (5cm)
6. Compress at a rate of atleast 100/min
7. Release fully between compressions
8. Provide 2 min of CPR between rhythm checks or analysis
9. Do not pause CPR except to check rhythm and deliver a shock
10. Keep all pauses under 10 sec.
