When the victim of a traffic accident has had their heartbeats stopped (cardiac arrest), cardiac massage must be performed, it is executed by rhythmic pressing with the overlapping heels of the hands on the victim's chest, at the heart level.
Attention! Cardiac arrest is characterized by the absence of pulse, which means that the heart has stopped beating, but the victim may still be breathing. If the victim has no pulse and no breathing, they are in cardio-respiratory arrest. In this case, the intervention must include both cardiac massage and artificial respiration (“mouth to mouth”), to support both blood circulation and the oxygenation of the body.
The correct answer is: A
