Stopping Chest Compressions

If the newborn’s heart rate is > 60 bpm during a HR check, the team holds chest compressions. PPV continues but increases to a rate of 40–60 breaths per minute. During chest compressions, the breathing rate is 30 breaths per minute.

Key Takeaway

Stop chest compressions if the heart rate is > 60 bpm. Continue to provide PPV.
