Description
C-A-B – NOT – A-B-C In the A-B-C sequence, chest compressions were often delayed while the rescuer opened the airway to give mouth-to-mouth breaths, retrieved a barrier device, or gathered and assembled ventilation equipment. By changing the sequence to C-A-B, rescuers can start chest compressions sooner, and the delay in giving breaths should be minimal (only the tie required to deliver the first cycle of 30 chest compression, or approximately 18 seconds or less; for 2-rescuer infant or child CPR, the delay will be even shorter).
