What does "5 cycles of chest compressions" mean?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
CPR: This refers to cpr. When performing CPR on an adult, one "cycle" is 30 chest compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths. After this 1st cycle, the 2nd cycle starts, also with 30 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths. In very specific circumstances (witnessed arrest, lay rescuer), CPR can be done without the rescue breaths i.e."hands only" cpr. Learn CPR through the american heart association!

Compression : It seems to me that 5 attempts at resuscitation were made. Good Luck
