How to Give a Child CPR
- 1). Using both hands, one on the forehead and two fingers under the chin, gently tilt the child's head back to open the airway.
- 2). Give two rescue breaths to determine if the child is choking. If the breaths do not go in, re-tilt and try again.
- 3). If the breaths go in, feel for a pulse on the carotid artery (neck) for no more than 10 seconds. If a pulse is felt, contine with rescue breathing.
- 4). Plug the child's nose and gently breathe into her mouth until her chest clearly rises.
- 5). Give one breath every three seconds until the child becomes conscious, further help arrives, or you become too tired to continue.
- 1). When you feel for a pulse and there is none, give CPR. Place one hand on the center of the bare chest and one hand gently on the forehead.
- 2). Compress down on the chest at a rate of 100 beats per minute at a depth of approximately 1 to 1 1/2 inches. Make sure your shoulder is directly above the wrist. Use only the palm of your hand while compressing down to avoid any further damage to the child.
- 3). Give 30 compressions, then 2 breaths, making sure to cover the child's nose while giving breaths.
- 4). Continue giving CPR until the child becomes conscious, help arrives, or you become too tired to continue.
