27 | Leave the lungs to be depleted between the resuscitations for at least 1.5 seconds | | |
28 | Complete the compression-ventilation ratio for about 2 minutes with no interruptions (5 cycles of 30 : 2) | | |
29 | Recheck the patient’s pulse after two minutes of resuscitation for less than 10 seconds | | |
30 | Continue compressions and breathing via 30 : 2 cycles if there is no pulse and check the pulse every two minutes | | |
