Identify the core clinical question

The question asks for the recommended rate of chest compressions for an adult victim of cardiac arrest according to the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines.

Recall the AHA CPR guidelines

According to the AHA Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC), rescuers should perform chest compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute for adult victims.

Evaluate the given options

• Anywhere between 80 and 100/minute: This rate is too slow and does not meet the current standard of care.
• Greater than 120 compressions/minute: Compressing too fast (above 120/min) reduces the depth of compressions and does not allow the chest to fully recoil, which decreases coronary perfusion pressure.
• Anywhere between 100 and 120/minute: This matches the official AHA recommendation perfectly.
• As fast as you are able: Resuscitation must be controlled; compressing too fast leads to fatigue and poor quality compressions.
