7e: Activating EMS Calling 911(2026)
This lesson is about Activating EMS for Infants. The steps to call 911 when attending to an ill or injured infant is discussed. Scene safety is important when approaching an infant, and should be ensured before any action is taken.
Always make sure the scene is safe when approaching an infant. If you become injured or disabled, it will only make the situation worse.
Tap the infant and talk loudly to determine if they are unresponsive. If they don’t respond or react, they are considered unresponsive. An unresponsive infant will not move when you touch them. They will not cry or make any sounds, and their body will be limp.
Yell for help and call 911/EMS using a cell phone. If a cell phone is not available, send someone else to call 911/EMS if possible.
If you are alone, begin ten cycles of CPR (that is about two minutes of CPR) before calling 911/EMS.
