Just using a reference guide to Skills Manual for CPR published last year - CPR for Adult/Child Resuss - Paramedic
ADULT: 30 compressions (100/min) followed by 2 ventilations (one cycle)
CHILD: 15 Compressions (100/min) followed by 2 ventilations (one cycle)
Reference: Skill 405
Im pretty sure the 15 comps for children is debatable - But as a Vollie First Aider its 30:2 for both...

Yeah, the rates I showed there come from SJA Skills Manual and are specific for the Ambulance Service.PFO wrote:ambul8 is correct in this last statement but my question still hasnot been answered. As a volly working on road who dont have alsAmbul8 wrote:yep, thats the rate they are teaching in first aid and for VFAS. But I believe the original question from PFO was more centered to the Ambulance Service.gkoutlis wrote:30:2 - Is the standard SJA are putting out - Regardless whether its a child, infant or an adult..... Its all the same - 30:2 - HOWEVER, compressions for an infant is done by using 2 fingers only and going a third of the depth of their body as they are still fragile...
There is a distinct difference between Neonates, Infants and Paediatricsmunchkin1981 wrote:15:2 is what we get taught for kids and secoundly i aint in uni i just a voly
or an IP who dont have als what ratios are they working with, bearing in mind
what sja are teaching, How about patient transport?
There seems to be a few varying statements here, the arc guidelines are quite clear. Ambul8 states all ambos use 15-1 yet not all ambos are als trained? Are you als trained ambul8 ? or has the point im getting at been lost lol
As I said, ALS is inaddition to CPR when a Paramedic is available, the rates do not change - only the drugs, airway management and defib's.
I hold current ALS, PHTLS and ACLS quals. On our mine we do 30:2 plus ALS interventions where indicated. No sedation untill we have consulted.
it was very centred around hospital arrest team, as opposed to single or two person responder with environmental variables.PFO wrote:whatdid u think of the ALS course. did u do it in WA? at CTEC?
But it focussed not only on arrest but pre-arrest phase (ie how to tell that your Pt is not so flash and may arrest).
There is rumblings of a PHTLS course in Perth soon, but will have to wait for details.
CTEC's cannualtion and venipuncture courses are good too.
The RFDS also do a good course - Medical Care for Shipmasters, which is a good remote equivilant

Hi Ambul8,
take a look at the Australasian Registry or EMTs http://www.aremt.com.au/ not sure when or where the courses would be run, though it could be a good alternative..
