CheckMake sure to check that the scene is clear before starting CPR.
Call
If there is a bystander, have them call 911 and tell them the situation.
Care
Check their Airway to see if they're breathing, if not, give them a Breath, and then check their Circulation. If they have no pulse, being CPR.
The correct sequence of CPR, when rescuers are present, is to start with chest compressions followed by rescue breaths. For adults and children, perform 30 compressions followed by 2 breaths. For infants, use 30 compressions followed by 2 breaths as well, but be gentle with your compressions and cover the infant's mouth and nose with your mouth when giving breaths. Always ensure that someone calls for emergency help while CPR is being performed.
The correct compression-to-breath ratio for CPR in adults is 30 compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths. This applies to both single-rescuer and two-rescuer CPR scenarios. For infants and children, the same ratio is typically used for single rescuers, but two rescuers should use a 15:2 ratio. It's important to focus on high-quality chest compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute.

30:2
The correct CPR sequence for adult victims is actually "CAB," which stands for Circulation (chest compressions), Airway, and Breaths. This emphasizes the importance of starting with chest compressions to maintain blood circulation before addressing the airway and delivering rescue breaths. For infants and children, the sequence may vary slightly, often starting with airway assessment. Always ensure to call for emergency assistance before beginning CPR.
CPR
You should stand back as the AED analyzes the patient.
They should provide breaths for the infant every 5 seconds.
30 compressions to 2 breaths for one rescuer and 15 compressions to 2 breaths for 2 rescuers (also use the two hands encircling thumbs position for 2 rescuers). The old compression ratio was 5 compressions to 1 breath.
Both the American Red Cross and the American Heart Association train 2 breaths to 30 chest compressions for child/infant CPR, for either 1 or 2 rescuers.
Both the American Red Cross and the American Heart Association train 2 breaths to 30 chest compressions for child/infant CPR, for either 1 or 2 rescuers.
With 2 rescuers, compressions and ventilations should be done at a ratio of 15:2 for an infant or child.
