During external chest compression on children under 8 years old the sternum should be compressed about 1/3 to 1/2 the depth of the chest.

<h3>What is the correct chest compression for a child?</h3>

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is known as CPR. When a child's respiration or heartbeat stops, it is a life-saving surgery.  

Compress the breastbone. For a baby or infant, press down 4 or 5 cm, or around one-third of the chest's diameter. At a rate of around 100–120 compressions per minute, quickly release the pressure before repeating. When we've completed 30 compressions, tilt the head, elevate the chin, and take two deep breaths. For adults, compress the chest to a depth of at least 2 inches. Allow the chest to fully rise each time. These compressions must be swift, forceful, and uninterrupted.

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

1. Airway Blockage/Obstruction

2.Scarred lung tissue

Explanation:

If your airways are blocked by anything ranging from mucus to a tree sapling (this can happen lol), it will prevent you from breathing normally, and it will be harder for you to take a breath after exercising, for example. Scarred lung tissue is an issue that comes from pre-existing conditions, such as asthma, and what happens with this is that, due to so much strain on your lungs, they can get injured or collapse, and after some time, the injuries on the tissue will cause it to harden, which means your lungs will not be able to expand and contract properly.

Levart [38]

Rebounded nasal congestion is an effect of excessive use of these products when administered correctly.

Rebound congestion is a persistent nasal obstruction (congestion) brought on by excessive use of nasal sprays, drops, or gels containing decongestant medications. Even in the absence of allergies or other cold-like symptoms, this kind of congestion can develop. There are no additional cold, flu, or allergy symptoms when you have rhinitis medicamentosa, just a runny or stuffy nose. Rebound congestion is another name for hay fever.

Rebound congestion is persistent and won't go away even after you stop using the spray. But rebound congestion isn't your standard nasal congestion. It's not brought on by an upper respiratory infection or allergies. Instead, taking nasal decongestant sprays for longer than three straight days makes the congestion worse.
