What are the Key Components of High-Quality CPR?

High-quality CPR involves several key components that should be rigorously followed:
1. Chest Compressions: Perform compressions at a depth of at least 2 inches but not more than 2.4 inches in adults, at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute.
2. Ventilations: Provide rescue breaths using a bag-mask device, ensuring each breath lasts about 1 second and makes the chest rise visibly.
3. Minimize Interruptions: Limit interruptions in chest compressions to less than 10 seconds to maintain blood flow.
