Agree with you about the CPR - I’ve seen two CPRs with defibrillation and at least temporary revival now that looked like they turned easy deaths into harder ones, and I haven’t been doing this very long (EMS and nursing school)
The child isn’t a good candidate for CPR, as she would might have to endure it multiple times, but trach and/or ventilator, maybe?
Exactly,
it’s not a ‘VOILA!’ all better scenario with CPR. It’s pretty brutal, even in the best circumstances.
As for a vent, there would be suctioning required etc. And its invasive plus frightening for some.
