Question

what is the correct compression - to - ventilation ratio for a 7 - year - old child when 2 or more rescuers are present?

20 compressions to 2 breaths

15 compressions to 1 breath

30 compressions to 2 breaths

15 compressions to 2 breaths

Explanation:

For a 7 - year - old child (a pediatric patient) when 2 or more rescuers are present, the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines recommend a compression - to - ventilation ratio of 15 compressions to 2 breaths. This ratio helps maintain an appropriate balance between providing circulatory support (compressions) and oxygenation (ventilations) in pediatric resuscitation.

Answer:

15 compressions to 2 breaths
