... for a Child or Infant.
If I am not mistaken, first you should clear there air passage, then CPR.
Always call 911 first- if you perform CPR incorrectly first, you now have wasted time. At least 911people will be there if you have failed to do the CPR correctly, or if it just did not work.
If it's an adult, you should immediatly before CPR. If its a child, you should do CPR for 5 minutes and then call. It's approximately 2 Minutes for the infant or child. ~Jason, just passed his FirstAid/CPR Taining.
Call 911 before you start CPR.
Call first gets help coming as soon as possible. Call first for unconscious adult (12 years or older) or if you witness the sudden collapse of an infant or child. Of course, if there is someone else to call 911 have them call and you immediately care for the person.
Before starting CPR you should (for no longer than 10 seconds) look for signs of life, especially a pulse and breathing. Lack of a pulse is indication that you should start CPR, presence of a pulse but lack of breathing is indication that you should begin rescue breathing.
The first thing that should be done is check to see if the person is responsive by gently shaking their shoulder and asking in a loud voice if they are alright. If they aren't responsive, call for help or have someone else call for help. The first step in the ABCs for CPR is opening up the airway by pulling up the neck and chin and tilting back the head.

For an adult, call 911 first. For an infant or child, perform 2 minutes of CPR or rescue breathing as applicable first and then call 911. Better yet, if possible, have someone else call 911 while you take care of the victim.
yes
True. But, if they don't need imidiate help then call 911 first. Or Give CPR while shouting for help.
In most cases, you must take Standard First Aid with CPR Level C before you can take an Advance First Aid or Advance Medical First Responder course. I personally have taken Standard First Aid with CPR Level HCP because I intend to take Advance First Aid later.
