Question

You have arrived at a residence to find a 6-month-old girl in her crib in cardiac arrest. Quick assessment reveals no rigor mortis or lividity. The mother states that she put the baby to bed at 9 p.m. last night and awoke at 3 a.m. to find her in her present state. What would your first action be?

Answer 1

Answer:

Do RCP to the baby.

Explanation:

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a salvage procedure that is performed when a person's breathing or heartbeat has ceased, such as in cases of drowning, choking, choking or injury.

To check your breath, see if your chest moves. You can also place your ear over your mouth to listen and feel if there is breathing.

To start CPR, lay your baby on a firm, flat surface. Place two fingers on the sternum, just below the imaginary line between the two nipples. Perform 30 rapid chest compressions, applying enough pressure for the chest to sink between 3 and 4 centimeters (1.5 inches). This will cause blood to flow to the brain and other vital organs.

After the first 30 chest compressions, place your palm on your baby's forehead. Place two fingers under your chin and gently tilt your head back. This will open the airways.

Cover your nose and mouth with your mouth forming an airtight seal (that does not escape the air), and exhale slowly twice. If your baby's chest does not rise, re-accommodate your head, cover your nose and mouth better with your mouth, and try again.

Repeat this cycle of 30 compressions and two breaths every two minutes, until the ambulance arrives or your baby begins to breathe again.
