To investigate whether a ventilation rate ≤10 breaths min-1 in adult cardiac arrest patients treated with tracheal intubation and chest compressions in a prehospital setting is associated with improved Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC), survival to hospital discharge and one-year survival with favourable neurological outcome, compared to a ventilation rate >10 breaths min-1. ⋯ A ventilation rate ≤10 breaths min-1 was not associated with significantly improved outcomes compared to a ventilation rate >10 breaths min-1. No other adequate cut-off value could be proposed.
