Infant CPR

 

1)  Check for response

2)  Activate emergency response and call for AED (remember if your alone call after 5 cycles)

3)  Open airway using head tilt-chin lift (tilt the head just enough to open airway, it is not necessary to tilt the help completely back)

4)  Check for breathing for (5 to 10 seconds)

5)  Give 2 breaths (look to see if check is rising, also remembering babies have really small lungs, usually just a small puff of air is all that is needed)

6)  Check pulse for (5 to 10 seconds)  babies necks are chubby and in some cases non-existent, so check the brachial artery)

7)  Begin chest compressions  (chest compressions for babies is best done with two fingers)
