La respuesta es la última (D): el pulso carotídeo.

Explicación de cada opción:

  • Femoral artery (arteria femoral): Aunque la arteria femoral es una opción viable para evaluar la eficacia de la RCP, especialmente en situaciones donde el acceso al cuello es difícil, no es la opción más comúnmente utilizada en un entorno de emergencia debido a su ubicación.

  • Dorsalis pedis artery (arteria dorsal del pie): Esta arteria se encuentra en el pie y no es adecuada para evaluar la eficacia de la RCP, ya que es más difícil de palpar y no proporciona una indicación rápida de la perfusión central.

  • Popliteal pulse (pulso poplíteo): Este pulso se encuentra detrás de la rodilla y, aunque puede ser útil en ciertas situaciones, no es práctico ni comúnmente utilizado en emergencias para evaluar la eficacia de la RCP.

  • Carotid pulse (pulso carotídeo): El pulso carotídeo es el más utilizado para evaluar la eficacia de la RCP en situaciones de emergencia. Se encuentra en el cuello y es fácilmente accesible, proporcionando una indicación rápida de la perfusión central.

En resumen, el pulso carotídeo es el más adecuado para evaluar la eficacia de la RCP en un entorno de emergencia debido a su accesibilidad y fiabilidad.

The weight of bodies may change somewhat from one location to another as a result of the variation of the gravitational acceleration g with elevation. Accounting for this variation using g = a - bz, where a = 9.807 m / s^2 and b = 3.32 x 10^-6 s^-2, determine the weight of a 90-kg person at sea level (z=0), in Denver (z=1610 m), and on the top of Mount Everest (z=8848 m).
