Answer:

The longest filibuster.

Explanation:

A filibuster is a political tactic where one or more members of the parliament discuss the matter of debate for a long time, to delay the final decision.

Senator Strom Thurmond holds the record, however, this tactic has been widely used in the past, as far as the roman empire. When the roman senator Cato the Younger was opposed to any legislation he would often delay the measures, by pronouncing a speech that lasted until nightfall.

As an interesting fact, despite senator Thurmond's fierce opposition, The Civil Rights Act of 1957 was still passed by the US Congress and was signed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Ou are providing bag-mask ventilations to a patient in respiratory arrest. how often should you provide ventilations?
SIZIF [17.4K]

About every 5-6 seconds the patient should be provided ventilations during a respiratory arrest.

A condition known as respiratory arrest is brought on by apnea (cease of breathing) or respiratory malfunction that is so severe that the body cannot support it (such as agonal breathing). A patient with prolonged apnea has ceased breathing for an extended length of time. Respiratory arrest is the term used to describe the circumstance if the heart muscle contraction is unharmed. A sudden halt in pulmonary gas exchange that lasts more than five minutes may irreversibly harm important organs, most notably the brain. Loss of consciousness results from a lack of oxygen to the brain. If respiratory arrest remains untreated for more than three minutes, brain damage is likely, and if it goes untreated for longer than five minutes, death is almost certain.
