In the 30-2-can do approach, what does the '2' stand for?

The number of respirations to perform at the start

The number of seconds to check for ventilation

The number of patients to assess at once

The number of seconds needed to check for perfusion

The main idea here is how timing is encoded in this CPR mnemonic. In this version, after delivering the 30 chest compressions, you pause for a very brief, fixed window to check perfusion. The number two specifically represents that short 2-second interval you use to assess for signs of perfusion (such as a pulse) so you can decide quickly whether to continue compressions or move on. The emphasis is on staying as continuous as possible with compressions, using only a brief pause to verify perfusion.

So the two isn’t about how many breaths or how many patients; it’s about the speed of the perfusion check within the CPR cycle.
