OLD 6a: Child CPR (2023)
The newest information is available here: • 6a: Child CPR (2026)
The sixth chapter discusses the following subject matter; Child CPR, AED, and Choking. The first lesson in this chapter covers Child CPR. A child in this instance is defined as ranging between one year old and puberty. How to properly administer CPR, specifically to a child, is the focus of this lesson.
"Children have breathing difficulties more often than they have actual heart problems. Therefore, it is important to begin CPR quickly and perform five sets of CPR for one rescuer, or 10 sets of CPR for two rescuers, before going to get additional help. One set of CPR consists of 30 compressions and two breaths, and one set of CPR for two rescuers consists of 15 compressions and two breaths.
When giving CPR to a child, make sure the scene is safe and area around the child are safe. Tap the child and talk loudly: “Are you okay?”
Check their breathing. If the child is not responding and not breathing or only gasping, then give 2 minutes of CPR or five sets of 30 compressions (ten sets of 15 compressions for two rescuers) and two breaths.
Call 911/EMS and get an AED. Resume CPR and give compressions and breaths."
