3 QUestions about ventilation rate in Adult apneic patient...are ventilations deliverd at a rate of 8-10 breaths/ min or 10/12?
1 My book says deliver 10-12breaths/min, however the online supplemental learning resource for the EXACT same book says it should be 8-10. I am a bit confused and have my NREMT test this weekend..in my EMT class it was 10-12 breaths/min
2 Also, if the patient is intubated/has an advanced airways is the rate of ventialtions 8-10 breaths/ min?
3 Do these numbers change if patient is only apneic or apneic AND pulseless??
Thank you
