The correct chest compression depth is about 1½ inches. The correct rate of compressions is 100 to 120 per minute.

According to current basic life support recommendations, a compression depth of one third to one half of the anteroposterior chest diameter should be used for newborn and toddler resuscitation. A study was done to determine the actual compression depths in newborns and kids. 36 newborns (1 year old) and 38 kids (aged 1 to 8 years) had their chest computed tomography scans analyzed. Chest computed tomography scan measurements of the anteroposterior diameter were taken from the anterior skin perpendicular to the skin on the posterior thorax, either at the interni pple line or the center of the lower half of the sternum.

The mean age was 3.6 months for the newborn group (25 boys and 11 girls). The average age of the 21 boys and 17 girls in the child-age group was 4.0 years. When current criteria were followed, compression depths ranged from 3.4 to 5.1 cm for infants and 4.4 to 6.6 cm for children. The compression depths at the interni pple line compared to the lower half of the sternum were same. These 2 were found beneath intrathoracic structures that suggested similar compression landmarks. In comparison to the suggested compression depths for adults (3.8-5.1 cm).

Citizens in many countries can vote at age 18. Which country requires citizens wait until they are 20 to vote? *
Radda [10]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

Citizens in many countries can vote at age 18. Which country requires citizens to wait until they are 20 to vote?

There are some countries that require citizens to wait until they are 20 to vote. These are Cameroon, Bahrain, Kuwait, Lebanon(21 years old), Malaysia, Oman, among others.

The average age to vote is 18 years old, although there countries that are lowering the age to vote to 16 years old, as is the case of Argentina, Cuba, and Scotland.

Governments consider that when an individual is 18 years old, he/she is mature enough to freely decide without the influence of his family, friends, and can cast his vote from his own conviction, according to his beliefs and interests.

How did farming change the lives of Early Man?
deff fn [24]

<em>Farming meant that people did not need to travel to find food. Instead, they began to live in settled communities, and grew crops or raised animals on nearby land. They built stronger, more permanent homes and surrounded their settlements with walls to protect themselves.</em>
