A 9 year old child has suddenly collapsed. After confirming that the scene is safe, a single rescuer determines that the child is in cardiac arrest, shouts for nearby help, and activates the emergency response system by using his mobile device.

What actions should occur next to support a team based resuscitation attempt?

• 2 rescuers should operate the AED while the third rescuer gives breaths.
• 1 rescuer should give CPR while the other 2 wait for advanced life support to arrive
• 2 rescuers should alternate giving high-quality chest compressions
• 2 rescuers should alternate using the AED and giving breaths
