"As the principle for assisting adults, children or infants remains the same; you should consider certain key differences. With differences pertaining to an adult and a child’s physiology already considered, you should also note the difference between a child and an infant.
For children/infants, in contrast to an adult, checking their airway is the first step you must take. Their breathing and heartbeat usually stop because of a blockage rather than a cardiac arrest. This issue is often the result of suffocation, choking, or other injury caused by a blockage to their airway. With this knowledge, it is crucial to perform CPR on kids right away as it increases their chance of survival."

Infant & Child: Same starting as an Adult; look listen & feel for breathing for 10 seconds. If no breathing, give 2 breaths. Then do a pulse / breathing check for 10 seconds. If no pulse and no breathing (signs of life), start performing CPR. CPR for Adult, Child, Infant is 30 compressions / 2 breaths. Always remember to have someone call EMS; even if you need to make the call yourself.
