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.

Why frenulum hurts when erecting after circumcision​
lesya [120]

Answer:

• Penile erections and sexual activity

After circumcision, nighttime and morning erections often cause pain because they pull on the skin stitches and cause the man to wake up. The pain usually causes the erection to subside; this relaxes the tension on skin stitches, and the pain goes away.
