What should be preceded by chest compressions in an infant that has been placed on a table or the floor?
Explanation
Correct answer: Place diapers or a towel under the child's back, so that the forehead, chin and chest are in one line.
An infant's head is proportionally larger in relation to the rest of its body; therefore, laying the infant on a flat, hard surface causes its chin to bend towards its chest. This position obstructs the airway. Placing a small roll under the back at shoulder level lifts the chest, which allows the head to be kept in a neutral position and opens the airway before starting resuscitation.
