Explanation
Answer - C - Tracheal intubation must be done in less than 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, ventilate the patient for 2 minutes prior to attempting the intubation again. Monitor the need for air by holding your breath from the time you stop ventilations - if you need a breath, you can be sure the patient does as well.
