Journal of Paramedic Practice, 15 (11), 472-477.1759-13762041-945710.12968/jpar.2023.15.11.472http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12417/1658Resuscitation guidelines recommend delivering ventilations at a rate of 10 per minute. However, hyperventilation is commonly reported during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest resuscitation efforts, and the impact of this on patient outcomes is unclear. This review explores the reported rates, causes and patient outcomes of hyperventilation in the management of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
