European Study Shows Ventilation Rates at Twice Guidelines Recommendations!
A study from the Europe reiterates the 2004 Aufderheide et al study showing that, in manually ventilated patients in cardiac arrest, 90% had ventilation rates of 20/min, twice the Guidelines recommended rate of 10/min. Even in those being mechanically ventilated, ventilation rates higher than 10/min were recorded in 92% of patients. Ventilation rates in cardiac arrest were higher than in patients without cardiac arrest for both types of ventilation.
