Doing CPR on children is different from adults depending on how old the child is. If you're doing it on an infant or toddler, turn them on their stomach on your lap and tap on their back. They will most likely vomit, but the object will be dislodged. On children older than for or five, perform regular CPR, just be on your knees so your at their level! Basically, CPr is used when in drowning or choking.

  1. Tell someone nearby to call 911.

  2. Position the injured child on his or her back, being extremely careful not to move or twist the head, neck or spine.
  3. Maintain an open airway while you pinch the injured child's nose shut.
  4. Give two long, slow breaths, being sure to maintain a seal between your mouth and his or hers.
  5. Begin CPR if the child neither is breathing nor has a pulse.

  6. Position the hands: Find the lower tip of the breastbone. Measure two finger widths toward the head, and place the heel of one hand in this location.
  7. Place the other hand on top of the first hand, interlacing the fingers of both hands.
  8. Lean forward so that the shoulders are over your hand.
  9. Push downward on the chest, using the weight of your upper body for strength. Compress five times in three seconds.
  10. Give one more slow breath after the five compressions, and then do five more compressions, followed again by one slow breath.

  11. Perform the five-compression, one-breath cycle a total of 12 times.
  12. Recheck pulse and breathing.

  13. Continue repeating this entire cycle - 12 sets of chest compressions and breaths, followed by rechecking pulse and breathing - until the injured child regains a pulse, until professional medical help arrives, or until you are too exhausted to continue.
