In the first 12 mins of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, continuous compressions could maintain relatively better coronary perfusion pressure, Pao2, and global ventilation/perfusion values than 30:2 cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Therefore, rescue ventilation during 12 mins of simulated bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation did not improve hemodynamics or outcomes compared with compression-only cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
