which team role provides feedback on compressions and breaths

The CPR coach (or team leader) is the team role that provides real-time feedback on the quality of compressions and breaths during team CPR.

Core CPR Team Roles

• Compressor : Delivers chest compressions at the correct depth, rate, and recoil but does not usually critique others’ ventilations.

• Airway/ventilation provider : Manages the airway and gives breaths with a bag-valve-mask or advanced airway, focusing on rate and volume.

• Team leader/CPR coach : Oversees the entire resuscitation, assesses overall performance, and gives corrective feedback on compressions and ventilations.

Who Gives Feedback?

• Modern high‑performance CPR emphasizes a coach/leader role whose job includes watching compression depth, rate, recoil, and ventilation timing, then giving immediate feedback.

• This role may use visual or device data (such as defibrillator feedback) plus observation to tell rescuers to “push harder,” “slow down,” or “give smaller breaths.”
