Which action is NOT part of demonstrating high-quality CPR on a patient?

Delivering brief ventilations that do not raise the chest is not part of demonstrating high-quality CPR. In fact, effective ventilations should ensure that the chest rises visibly, indicating that air is entering the lungs. This is crucial for providing adequate oxygenation to the patient. When performing CPR, it is important that each ventilation allows for inflation of the lungs, which results in visible chest rise. This confirms that air is being delivered properly to the patient.

In contrast, allowing for full chest recoil after each compression is essential as it helps maintain blood flow and pressure between compressions. Compressing the chest at the correct rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute is vital to maintain optimal blood circulation to vital organs. Delivering smooth ventilations that last about 1 second each is also important, as it allows for adequate time to inflate the lungs without causing excessive pressure that could lead to complications.
