Ratio of compressions to breaths for a toddler is 30 compressions to 2 breaths.
30 compressions to 2 breaths. 2nd Answer: Perhaps not . . . the American Heart Association and the American Red Cross have approved and recommended the so-called "hands-only" CPR. You give chest compressions in the standard position, but you sort of bounce up and down on the patient's chest - perhaps 40 compressions or more per minute. You are doing it at the right rate if you are naturally bouncing up and down, like you would if you were giving chest compressions to a rubber ball. This method results in a good balance between doing the patient some good, while minimizing your fatigue. There are no breaths given in hands-only CPR.
Well if you are counting compressions for an adult 5 to 1 for a child 10 to 1. That would be 5 compressions to 1 breath, 10 compressions to 1 breath. Some times the count is broken into groups, but the standards change every second year for some reason. I was trained to do adults 5~1 children 10~1 infants 15~1 Saint John's Ambulance 2005

3 compressions to 1 breath, or 90 compressions to 30 breaths on a per minute basis.
the guidelines for adults, children and infants is 30 chest compressions to 2 rescue breaths.
30 compressions to 2 breaths for one rescuer and 15 compressions to 2 breaths for 2 rescuers (also use the two hands encircling thumbs position for 2 rescuers). The old compression ratio was 5 compressions to 1 breath.
The 2010 American Heart Association emphasis is on chest compressions, rather than breathing. In other words, a lay rescuer may not give any breaths at all concentrating instead on compressions.For a trained lay rescuer, the compressions and breaths should be provided in a ratio of 30 compressions to 2 breaths.Ventilations with advanced airway (HCP):1 breath every 6-8 seconds (8-10 breaths/min)Asynchronous with chest compressionsAbout 1 second per breathVisible chest rise
CPR ratio is 30 compressions to 2 breaths.
