As per the 2005 Guidelines- If you have taken a Community Class you should have learned a CPR ratio of 30 compression to 2 breaths. If you are a HealthCare Provider/ Professional Rescuer and you are doing 1 Person CPR you s…hould have learned 30 compression to 2 Breaths for an Adult, a Child, or an Infant. If you are doing 2 Person CPR the ratio for an Adult is 30 compressions to 2 Breaths, for a Child and an Infant the Ratio becomes 15 compressions to 2 Breaths. For the infant it can be done but many people feel that 1 person on an infant is better as they are so tiny.

For the people who say that this debate makes them not want to help all I can say is that if you start providing continue to do so until help arrives. As long as you perfom the skills to the level at which you were trained; and in the manner in which you were trained; you will not be successfully sued!

If fear of being sued is that strong- please at least call 911 so Advanced Medical Care can assist this person. I am in my 30′s and know first hand that CPR can save a Life. Mine was. By a very well trained individual who made the decision to act and save a Life for that I will always be greatful! Learn CPR, great trained and educated so you too might beable to Save A Life! Don’t let Fear get the best of you!
