Question

what is the correct compression - to ventilation ratio for a single rescuer of a 3 - year old child?
15 compressions to 1 breath
15 compressions to 2 breaths
20 compressions to 2 breaths
30 compressions to 2 breaths

Explanation:

According to basic life support guidelines, for a single rescuer performing CPR on a child (1 - 8 years old), the compression - to - ventilation ratio is 30 compressions to 2 breaths. This ratio helps maintain an appropriate balance between providing circulatory support (compressions) and respiratory support (ventilations) to keep oxygenated blood flowing to the vital organs.

Answer:

30 compressions to 2 breaths
