Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Ventilation
Explanation: Chest compressions - Chest compressions are indicated for a heart rate that is < 60 bpm despite adequate ventilation with supplementary oxygen for 30 seconds.
- As ventilation is the most effective action in neonatal resuscitation. Because chest compressions are likely to compete with effective ventilation, rescuers should ensure that assisted ventilation is being delivered optimally before starting chest compressions.
- Compressions should be delivered on the lower third of the sternum, to a depth of approximately one-third of the anterior-posterior diameter of the chest.
Two techniques have been described - Compression with two thumbs with fingers encircling the chest and supporting the back.
- Compression with two fingers with a second hand supporting the back.
