Ideal Chest Compression Fraction FAQ

How to calculate chest compression fraction?

To find the compression ratio (CR) you divide the total swept volume with the total compressed volume. This is how you find out what these totals are: Swept volume = chamber volume + piston volume + gasket volume + clearance volume + cylinder volume Compressed volume = chamber volume + piston volume + gasket volume + clearance volume

How to give effective chest compressions?

Place the heel of your hand on the centre of the person's chest, then place the other hand on top and press down by 5 to 6cm (2 to 2.5 inches) at a steady rate of 100 to 120 compressions a minute. After every 30 chest compressions, give 2 rescue breaths.

What is chest compression fraction ccf?

Chest compression is the act of applying pressure to someone's chest in order to help blood flow through the heart in an emergency situation. Give one breath of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, followed by five chest compressions.
