Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer to the question: During chest compressions, which of the following is correct? would be, D: One cycle of 3 compressions and 1 ventilation should take approximately 2 seconds.

Explanation:

Performing CPR, or cardio pulmonary resucitation, is not easy feat, even when the person to whom this is being performed to, is an adult. In children, especially newborns and infants, it is particularly complex because the sequence, the frequency and the force on both compressions and ventilation efforts changes totally to adjust to the much smaller size of the infant´s body and his/her organs. According to the latest protocols instituted by the ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support), from the options given in this question as answer choices D is the correct one: in infant and newborn resucitation, a cycle of CPR is known as having 3 chest compressions to 1 ventilation and the whole process should not go beyond 2 seconds.
