How many ventilations per minute should be given to an injured person when using the ventilatory support technique?
First aid
Explanation
To provide adequate ventilatory support for a person who is not breathing normally, it is important to follow certain guidelines. In this case, **10 insufflations per minute** should be performed. This is derived from the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) technique described in the texts.
- When a person is not breathing normally, CPR should be initiated. This includes performing **chest compressions** and **mouth-to-mouth ventilations**.
- The recommended technique is to perform **2 ventilations every 30 compressions**. Compressions should be performed at a rate of approximately **100 per minute**.
- Given that 2 ventilations are performed every 30 compressions, and considering the rate of compressions, this results in a total of **10 insufflations per minute**.
This technique ensures that air effectively enters the injured person's lungs while waiting for emergency services to arrive.
