Better Ventilation = Better Survival

The American Heart Association’s 2025 guidelines, for the first time, formally recognize and strongly emphasizes that ventilation quality plays a critical role during CPR and directly impacts survival and neurological outcomes.

“Ventilation plays a critical role during CPR and is linked to better patient outcomes… Recent studies show that rescuers often fail to deliver ventilation in accordance with guidelines. These findings highlight the importance of adequate ventilation to optimize patient outcomes.”

As the new AHA guidelines clearly state, high-quality ventilation saves lives.

These new Guidelines include an update to the Chain of Survival: Ventilation is no longer a background step – it is central to every link. From early recognition and immediate CPR to advanced care, ensuring proper ventilation now plays a direct role in survival and neurological recovery. For rescuers, this underscores the need for reliable tools and objective feedback to maintain consistent, high-quality ventilation across every intervention.

The Chain of Survival is a framework used in emergency medicine to outline the critical steps that give a person the best chance of surviving cardiac arrest.

The 2020 Vs 2025 Chain of Survival – the American Heart Association are placing new, strong emphasis on ventilations.
