a. 60 times a minute
b. 80 times a minute

The prompt initiation of effective chest compressions is a fundamental aspect of cardiac arrest resuscitation. CPR improves the victim's chance of survival by providing heart and
brain circulation. Rescuers should perform chest compressions for all victims in cardiac arrest, regardless of rescuer skill level, victim characteristics, or available resources.
Rescuers should focus on delivering high-quality CPR providing chest compressions of adequate rate (at least 100 compressions per minute).
