Neonatal resuscitation with the 15 chest compressions to 2 ventilations pediatric ratio. Would it be comparable to the 3:1 standard?
In a neonatal CPR simulation model, the 15:2 compression-to-ventilation ratio achieved quality parameters comparable to the 3:1 ratio in terms of performance. The implementation of a unified compression:ventilation ratio (15:2) for CPR from birth through childhood could simplify training and improve the effectiveness of neonatal resuscitation, particularly in settings with limited resources for birth care training. Our results, obtained in a simulated environment, support the performance of studies in real patients.
