Decreased cardiac output Excessive ventilation can be harmful because it increases intrathoracic pressure, decreases venous return to the heart, and diminishes cardiac output and survival. The team should stick to the ABCs (airway, breathing, and circulation) and keep the resuscitation room quiet so that all personnel can hear without repetitious commands. Team members should question a colleague who is about to make a mistake.
