In the assessment of compliance with the ERC CPR algorithm, 69.2–80.8% of the subjects made some errors or omissions during resuscitation, the most frequent was not asking for help and not giving rescue breaths. The conclusions were that a high percentage of CC were not performed with optimal...

• Single rescuer: The approach depends on whether or not the sudden collapse is witnessed. If the collapse is not witnessed, the rescuer should start CPR (C-A-B) with a ratio of 30 compressions to two breaths; after about 2 minutes, if still alone, the rescuer should activate EMS...
