Child CPR (1- onset of puberty)

CPR for children is similar to performing for adults.


There are, however, 3 differences.

1) If you are alone with the child give two minutes


(5 cycles) of CPR before calling 911

2) Use the heel of one hand for chest compressions

3) Compress at a depth of about 1-1.5 inches


INFANT CPR
Infant
 An infant is considered a child
under the age of 12 months.
 An infant has a much better
chance of survival if CPR is
performed immediately.
 If another person is present, tell
them to call 911 while you start
CPR.
 If you are alone with the infant,
do not dial 911 until after you
have made an attempt to
resuscitate the victim.
Responsiveness

 To check an infant for


responsiveness, gently tap
or flick the feet and as if the
infant is “OK”.
 If there is no movement or
sound from the baby,
immediately check the
airway.
C = Circulation
 Begin with chest compressions.

 Infant chest compressions are


performed with 2 (the middle and
index) fingers. Compress on the
sternum just below the nipple
line.

 The ratio of compressions is 30


for every 2 puffs (breaths).
Count out loud as you deliver the
compressions. The compression
depth is about 1 ½ inches.
A = Airway

Next, Open the Airway:


 If no breathing is detected,
gently tilt the victim's head
backward by lifting the
chin.
 Do not overextend the neck
because this could result in
closing off of the airway.
B = Breathing

 Cover the infant’s nose and


mouth with your mouth.
Make sure you create a seal.
 Give the infant a quick
gentle puff (breath) from
your cheeks.
 Give the victim a chance to
exhale and repeat with
another gentle puff (breath).
