Use this scenario to answer the next 2 questions: A 9-year-old child has suddenly collapsed.

He immediately begins performing high-quality CPR. Two additional rescuers immediately arrive to assist in the resuscitation attempt.

Answer: The child is still growing so its immune system is weak. You will need to use a defibrillator on a low frequency because a high frequency could send the child into seizures which the child may not be able to handle. The team should use a defibrillator and they should prepare the child for the hospital. The doctors will need to work quickly so they need to make it as easy as possible because the child could be running out of time.
