, Author of Cannabis Pharmacy. 1  There are several problems with chewing/dipping cannabis. First, cannabis, in its raw herbal form, can host a wide variety of microbes including e coli and salmonella, both of which can present a health risk.
Oxygenation and ventilation: Once the position and seal are obtained, bagging can commence. The rate of ventilation for an adult is 10-12 breaths per minute or, approximately 1 bag squeeze every 5-6 seconds.4 The bag should be depressed for a full 1-2 seconds and then released.
Compressions with rescue breaths. A universal compression to ventilation ratio of 30:2 is recommended for adults. With children, if at least 2 trained rescuers are present a ratio of 15:2 is preferred. In newborns a rate of 3:1 is recommended unless a cardiac cause is known in which case a 15:2 ratio is reasonable. If an advanced airway such as an endotracheal tube or laryngeal mask airway is in place, artificial ventilation should occur without pauses in compressions at a rate of 8â10 per minute.
