What is the Adult CPR compression ratio?

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.
