Abstract
Abstract In training schedules for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by one operator there are still differences in recommendations for the working rates and ratios between cardiac compressions and insufflations. In an attempt to reach a general agreement on CPR procedures experimental investigations have been done. These showed that the most favourable recommended schedule is a CPR employing ventilation and sternal compressions in a ratio of 2:15, with working rates of 80/min for compressions and 30/min for ventilation. If two operators are vailable for CPR, a compression rate of 60/min is recommended with one insufflation being interposed after each five compressions, without interfering with the rhythm of sternal compressions. The advantages for research, and as a training aid, of the new Ambu Simulator are discussed.
