CPR 2010 provides guidelines for basic life support, which involves chest compressions, airway, and breathing (CAB). The chain of survival emphasizes recognition of cardiac arrest, early CPR, early defibrillation if needed, and advanced life support. Chest compressions should be performed at a rate of at least 100 per minute with a depth of 2 inches and full chest recoil between compressions while minimizing interruptions. The recommended chest compression to ventilation ratio is 30:2 with 1 second rescue breaths and avoiding hyperventilation. An automated external defibrillator should be used for defibrillation if needed as part of the chain of survival.
