Prevention of airway and breathing emergencies; early cpr with an emphasis on effective rescue breaths and, if needed, rapid defibrillation; early activation of the appropriate emergency response protocol; effective bls and als care and transportation; and effective post-cardiac arrest care at a hospital are the links in which chain of survival?

Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation also known as CPR. This chain of survival is the first-aid command for patients or individuals who are experiencing life-threatening situations at a given time. Highly-skilled and trained individuals are the only ones allowed to perform this as it may result to different kinds of complications if administered incorrectly.

Answer:

Children and infants

Step-by-step explanation:

The survival chain, also known as the "relief chain", translates the concept of the best aid to a victim in cardiorespiratory arrest, giving him the maximum probability of survival. When destined for asults, this chain of survival consists of 4 links: 1- protection and alertness; 2- early cardiorespiratory resuscitation; 3- early defibrillation (automatic external defibrillator) and 4- post-resuscitation care (advanced life support).

However, when aimed at children and infants, this chain has the following links: 1- prevention of airway and breathing emergencies, 2- early CPR, with an emphasis on effective rescue breaths, 3- rapid defibrillation (if necessary), 4- activation early appropriate emergency response protocol, 5- effective care and transport of bls and als, 6- effective post-cardiac arrest care in a hospital.
