If you’re only doing chest compressions, how is new oxygen being introduced into the body.

The article stated there is already a 8 minute reserve of oxygen in the blood. The important thing is to get the heart started and the blood moving. Once the heart restarts, they will breath on their own.

See post 8... emergency CPR is better than nothing, but don’t dillude yourself on its success rate.
