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.
When talking to people about first aid and CPR in particular, I find a lot of confusion centred around the ratio of compressions to rescue breaths. That is, how many times should you press down on the chest and how many times should you give mouth to mouth breaths.This is really not too surprising, as it has been subject to change over the years. I started to learn first aid in the winter of 1971/72, at the tender age of 8.f, however, you have help, then you should give 5 compressions to 1 breath. In my 1979 book, I am told that the correct ratio is 5 to 1, with or without help, but by the second half of the eighties we are back to 15 to 2 on our own or 5 to 1 with help.
