ADULT 2 RESCUER

Two rescuer CPR is more efficient and most likely what you will be using in a hospital situation. All of the numbers remain the same. The biggest difference is that we can tell if the compressions are effective by checking the carotid during compressions. One rescuer will give ventilations while the other will give compressions if necessary. The rescuer giving ventilations will be in charge. He or she will assess the victim and let the other rescuer know if CPR is necessary and if compressions are effective. It is important to communicate during 2 rescuer CPR. Talk out loud, especially during compressions so there is no confusion between the rescuers.
