How often should you provide ventilation using bag mask in respiratory arrest?

In cases of respiratory arrest, ventilation using a bag-mask device should be provided at a rate of about 10 to 12 breaths per minute, which equates to approximately one breath every 5 to 6 seconds. Each breath should be delivered over 1 second, ensuring that the chest rises visibly. It’s important to minimize interruptions in chest compressions if they are also being performed. Continuous assessment of the patient's condition is critical to adjust the ventilation as necessary.
