Question

What's the primary difference between compressions on an adult vs. a small child?
The child's chest wall is more easily compressed, so we shouldn't push as deep
We should use two hands on a small child and one hand on an adult
We may use one hand instead of two in order to compress the small child's chest
We should use three fingers for chest compressions on a child and five fingers on an adult

Answer 1

Answer:

We may use one hand instead of two in order to compress the small child's chest.

Explanation:

Minimum depth of chest compression: compression depth for adults is a minimum of 5 cm/2 in. Compression depth for a child is at least ⅓ the depth of the chest size, or 5 cm for a child and 4 cm for an infant.

Because children have smaller chests than adults, the depth of compressions should be only one and a half inches. The compression and breath rate should be the same for children as for adults—30 compressions to two breaths.

Answer 2

We may use one hand instead of two in order to compress the small child's chest

The primary difference between compressions on an adult vs. a small child when performing Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, CPR, is that for an adult, the heel of one hand is placed on the central region of the chest of the person while the other hand is then placed on top the of the hand on the chest (making two hands being used)before pressing down between 5 and 6 centimeters at 100 compressions per minute, and giving 2 rescue breaths after every 30 compressions, while for a small child, two fingers and at most, the heel of only one hand may be on the lower third portion of the breast bone before performing the compressions at the same rate as for an adult
