Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is administered to the donor in the weeks prior to the procedure, along with human chorionic gonadotropin 36 hours before harvesting to yield more oocytes. These hormone injections serve to maximize the number of eggs available for retrieval.
Act quickly, because brain damage can occur after only 3 minutes without oxygen. If the person is an infant or child (age 1 to puberty) and he or she is not breathing, do chest compressions and rescue breathing for 2 minutes (5 cycles), then call 911. In adults, call 911 first and begin CPR. Please note: If you are alone, not trained in CPR, and a phone is nearby, call 911.
adult, child, and infant rescue breathing > rescue breathing when an adult, child, or infant has a pulse but is not breathing effectively, rescuers should give breaths without chest compressions. this is rescue breathing. for adults, give 1 breath every 5 to 6 seconds, about 10 to 12 breaths per minute. for infants and children, give 1 breath every 3 to 5 seconds, about 12 to 20 breaths per minute. give each breath in 1 second. each breath should result in a visible chest rise. and you should check the pulse about every 2 minutes. because many cardiac arrests happen at home, you may need to give breaths to a family member or close friend when you are off duty.
