The optimal approach to ventilation during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest has long
been debated. Early studies documented adverse hemodynamic consequences with high
minute ventilation, while more recent ones highlight potentially ineffective ventilation
in a substantial proportion of patients.

Both hypo- and hyperventilation may be associated with worse outcome, though studies
are mixed.

While a growing recognition of post-arrest pulmonary complications highlights a need
to refine ventilation practices, a persistent challenge has been accurate measurement
of ventilation parameters, including rate, volume, and pressures.
