When assessing circulation in an adult, you should take no more than 10 seconds to check for signs such as skin color, temperature, and capillary refill time. The capillary refill test should ideally take about 2 seconds or less for a normal response. If there are indications of poor circulation, further assessment and intervention may be necessary.

How is the fetal circulation transformed instantaneously into the adult circulation with practically no transition?
The fetal circulation is based mainly on the veinous circulation during pregnancy. Once the uterine connections are lost, the adult circulation takes over.

Why is it important for the fetal heart to have both the ductus arteriosus and the foramen ovale but not good for the adult heart to have these?
The ductus arteriosus and foramen ovale are important for systemic circulation. This is the type of circulation maintained by fetal pigs but the adult heart requires pulmonary and systemic circulation.
Why is it important for the fetal heart to have both the ductus arteriosus and the foramen ovale but not good for the adult heart to have these feature?
The ductus arteriosus and foramen ovale are important for systemic circulation. This is the type of circulation maintained by fetal pigs but the adult heart requires pulmonary and systemic circulation.
How does fetal circulation differ from the circulation pattern after birth?
In fetal circulation, the placenta provides oxygen and nutrients to the fetus, so the lungs are not used for oxygen exchange - instead, a bypass called the ductus arteriosus shunts blood away from the lungs. After birth, the lungs take over oxygen exchange, the ductus arteriosus closes, and the foramen ovale between the atria closes, redirecting blood flow through the heart to support pulmonary circulation.

How often do you give rescue breaths when an infant is not breathing but has a pulse?
You do not check for signs of circulation as a first aider, if they are not breathing then you perform 30 compresions at a rate of 100/minute followed by 2 rescue breaths regardless of whether they have signs of circulation (In a chilld you would also perform 5 rescue breaths before you start CPR). this is because even if they have circulation, if they're not breathing then they won't have circulation for long and CPR will do less harm than thinking there are signs of circulation when there aren't and not performing CPR.
