The youngest age a person can learn and perform CPR will be based on their developmental progress and maturity. Some states and certifying agencies have minimum ages to be certified in CPR based on studies of ages required to learn the information and pass the skill and test requirements. Usually, these youngest ages range from 10 to 12 years old which would be a good estimate to answer your question.
CPR is an emergency procedure. A child or an adult may be in in need of it. It is up to you, the person on site. Do you administer it or do you wait and read the rules, you may get sued. You cannot get into trouble for doing nothing and allowing someone to die. You can get into trouble for doing something that may, or may not, save their lives. That is the society and the rules we have created. Tough, we did it.
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.
