The compression-ventilation ratio for 2-rescuer adult CPR is 30:2. This ratio is the number of compressions (30) and breaths (2) in 1 cycle. The role of the second rescuer at the head during the cycles of compressions to ventilation is to maintain an open airway and give breaths.

Answer:

Coordinate Chest Compressions and Ventilations

A lone rescuer uses a compression-to-ventilation ratio of 30:2. For 2-rescuer infant and child CPR, one provider should perform chest compressions while the other keeps the airway open and performs ventilations at a ratio of 15:2.
