Question

An 8 year old girl is in cardiac arrest. Select the images that correctly depict how to perform

Answer 1

I see no photos, but the steps are…
1. Check that you are in a safe area, if not you must move the child.
2. check for responsiveness
3. Check pulse and breathing for 5-10 seconds (NO MORE THAN 10)
4. initiate emergency response- call 911 and get the AED
5. Begin chest compressions at a 100-120 BPM rate.
6. Maintain a balance of 30 chest compressions to 2 breath ratio
7. After 3 sets of 30 compressions and 6 breaths use the AED.
Since she is young child, 8 or younger, one pad goes to the middle of the chest and the other goes on the same area, but on her back.
8. Inform EMS of what you have done so far.


Sorry if it’s not what you are looking for, but i did my best without the photo
