  1. CPR and AED Use for Infants

  2. Pediatric Chain of Survival • First Link – Preventing injury and sudden cardiac arrest • Second Link – High – quality CPR • Third Link – Phone 911

  3. Infants – 1 month to 1 year of ageRespiratory Problems Often cause Cardiac Arrest You only use 2 fingers of 1 hand for Infant CPR CPR compressions should be about 1 ½ inches at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute Tap and Shout (check for responsiveness) Tap the infant’s foot and shout their name Check for breathing Begin CPR

  4. Breathing trouble is often the cause of a child needing CPR- drowning, trauma, and electrical injury If you are alone and have a cell phone Phone 9-1-1 and put the phone on speaker while you begin CPR Give 5 sets of 30 compressions and 2 breaths Go get an AED ** Return to the infant and continue CPR If you are alone and do not have a cell phone Give 5 sets of 30 compressions and 2 breaths Go phone 9-1-1 and get an AED ** Return to the infant and continue CPR **If the infant isn’t injured and you’re alone, after 5 sets of 30 compressions and 2 breaths, you may carry the infant with you to phone 9-1-1 and get an AED

  5. Open the airway Opening the airway too far can actually CLOSE the infants airway Neutral Put one hand on the forehead and the fingers of your other hand on the bony part of the chin Tilt head back and lift chin Avoid pressing into the soft part of the neck or under the chin because this might block the airway. Do not push the head back too far

  6. How to give breaths While holding the airway open, take a normal breath. Cover the infant’s mouth and nose with your mouth If you have difficulty making an effective seal, try either a mouth-to-mouth or mouth-to-nose breath If you use the mouth-to-mouth technique, pinch the nose closed If you use the mouth-to-nose technique, close the mouth Give 2 breaths (blow for 1 second for each). Watch for chest to begin to rise as you give each breath

  7. Infant High – Quality CPR Give 30 chest compressions • Use 2 fingers of one hand to give compressions. Place on the breastbone, just below the nipple line • 30 compressions in no less than 15 and no more than 18 seconds • Push straight down at least 1/3 the depth of the chest, or about 1 ½ inches • Push at the rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute • Let the chest come back up to its normal position after each compression After 30 compressions, give 2 breaths
