You notice shortness of breath in a child. There is no one around to help. Which of the following actions should be taken?

Explanation
Correct answer: Perform artificial breathing and chest compressions for 1 minute and then call for help.
In children, the most common cause of cardiac arrest is respiratory problems, not cardiac problems as in adults. For this reason, it is crucial to supply the body with oxygen as quickly as possible. According to resuscitation guidelines, if you are alone, you should first perform rescue measures for one minute and only then call for help, so as not to delay the crucial intervention.
