The amount of people who have commented to you with completely incorrect reasons for why you only do compressions is something else. They're all getting up voted, too.

But anyhow, for all of them: Single person cpr is non stop compressions at 100 to 120 bpm, non stop.

Two person cpr is the same rate, but two breaths every 30 compressions (2 every 15 for an infant).

Single person cpr is done that way now, because one person working by themselves can't manage to effectively do both for very long at all before starting to screw up or move to slow, and the compressions are most important. It basically takes to long to stop, move up towards the head, tilt the head back, open the mouth, give two appropriate breaths while looking for chest rise, then reposition and go back to compressions.

Trust me when I say that you'll be wore the heck out if you have to do 120 compressions a minute, almost hard enough to tear ribs from cartilage for more than a few minutes on your own. Adding in the breaths just isn't something that has been shown to pay off.

I have to do CPR training once per year, and almost every time they've changed the recommendations. I don't even remember the current recommendations now.

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 9 months ago

It's only changed once in about the past 15 years.

My instructors have been from Region Skåne the last few years, maybe they've been taught different things.

Non US? Might be. For us it stayed the same for like a decade and then switched to the current like two years ago.

[-] pmk 1 points 9 months ago

Yes, Swedish. Also, for unrelated reasons I reacted a bit triggered in my previous reply and my canadian girlfriend said that I was being an arrogant european, and I'm sorry about that.

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 9 months ago

Didn't even notice, so no worries.

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I got certified 6 months ago. They still (in the US) recommend 2 breaths every 30 compressions. For 2 people, one person manages the AED, and the other does CPR and you switch every 2 cycles, or whenever one person is too tired to continue.

Point is moot, you probably don't have enough mass, or lung volume to compress the chest and inflate the lungs on a giraffe.
