CPR

You keep administering CPR until signs of life are evident, the scene becomes unsafe, more advanced medical personnel arrive, an AED becomes available, or you become too tired to continue. You don't stop to check for signs of life since the ECC2005 guidelines were in effect.

For a newborn baby is from 30 to 60 breaths per minute.
A child age 1 to 5 will have a respiratory rate of 20 to 30 breaths per minute.
6 to 12, the breathing rate continues to decrease to about one breath every 3 to 5 seconds, or 12 to 20 breaths per minute.

CPR for a infant is the same as a adult now; 30 compressions to 2 breaths (compressions given at a rate of 100 compressions per min). Each cycle of 30 compressions / 2 breaths should take 24 seconds.

Well, usually if they are in respiratory arrest and concious, they won't stay that way for a while. Try and remove any blockages in the trachea or help the person administer any regular medication that they have been instructed to use (asthma/COPD).

a baby start breathing when the soul come in his or her body

These are the most recent PALS (Pediatric Advanced Life Support) Guidelines:

When there is only one rescuer, which is often the case in CPR done outside the hospital, the chest compression to rescue breaths ratio is 30:2 (30 chest compressions, 2 breaths) just like it is for an adult.

When there are two rescuers, as in, one person that can do compressions and one that can do breaths, the ratio changes to 15:2.

In a hospital setting, when the infant or child is intubated (breathing tube down the throat), chest compressions are done continuously without interruption, while another provider at the same time gives rescue breaths with an ambu-bag down the breathing tube, at a rate of one breath every 6 to 8 seconds. This last method would only ever be done by health care providers.

Each minute that defibrillation is delayed reduces the chance of surviving cardiac arrest by 10 percent according to the red cross.

check the persons pulse

look for the chest to raise

listen for their breathing

NO! If the child is not breathing, you need to call 911 immediately, then let them instruct you on what to do while help is on the way. To wait for 2 minutes before calling 911 could mean life or death for the child. The same applies if it's an adult who is not breathing - you always call 911 first!




While this is mostly correct, the AHA teaches in some modules that if you find a child or an infant unresponsive and you are alone, you need to first provide 2 minutes of CPR before going for help. The reasoning is immense, but is primarily based on a child's ability to quickly rebound from a cardiac arrest and because most cardiac issues in children are secondary to a respiratory issue. Follow your guidelines taught in your CPR course. Contact your instructor and he will be happy to explain what you should do and why!

To give emergency your location

Immediately after a shock, you will wait to follow the next instruction from the AED. After a shock, it will either immediately analyze again and possibly shock again, or direct you to check the patient for a pulse, and if none resume CPR.

Yes, a trained individual can and should start CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) on a person who has just had a heart attack. The goal of CPR is to restore blood and oxygen circulation throughout the body, and in a heart attack the heart stops pumping oxygenated blood throughout the body.

You can check the pulse in the carotid (neck) or brachial (upper arm) arteries for CPR pulse checks. Other possible locations for checking a pulse are Radial (wrist), Popliteal artery (knee) posterior tibial or dorsalis pedis (foot).

Usually the AED will have a recommendation on it for the usage for which pads are available, however anyone who is pulseless under the age of 6 should use the child pads according to NYS EMS Protocols.

Always. If you witnessed the collapse, immediate application of the AED offers the best chance of successful defibrillation. If the patient does not need defibrillation (only two heart rhythms are shocked by an AED), the AED won't attempt it, so applying one can't hurt, and it may save a life.

Hook up the AED when the absence of a pulse is confirmed.

Yes but not always . Recent developments in in 2013 in America, Japan and Australia have meant that clinically dead people from 1 to 3 hours have been resurrected after cardiac arrest using mechanical CPR combined with ECMO treatment( extracorporeal membrane oxygenation - an artificial lung hat keeps oxygen and blood flowing to the brain and vital organs) . A new machine called "Äuto Pulse" uses a band that wraps around and squuezes the entire chest providing precise and consistent compressions.

Brain death is a different matter. Once someone has no activity in the brain stem or brain they are technically dead .However you can revive the body and keep it alive on a life support system BUT the person is considered dead. Keeping a body alive is occassionally done in order to be able to harvest organs or in unusual circumstances to keep a viable environment for a fetus to allow it to continue to develop until it is ready to be born when the mother has died.

Generally while health care professionals will do their best to revive someone, even then the success rate is low. Typically they'll perform CPR as long as needed or until a doctor call the time of death. But during CPR the brain is still being deprived of oxygen so if the person does survive they often have varying levels of brain damage.

The determination of death has always been a problem. In times prior to the 19th century a "'wake" was conducted for the dead. A wake is a period of lasting from 3 to 14 days so that people could observe the body to see if the victim was really dead rather than comatose. This was more than enough time for decomposition to set in which is absolute proof of death. Once decomposition begins ressurection is impossible.

Early morticians would often perform "tests" on the apparent cadavers, either something painful that might cause a response, or some act that would make sure the subject was truly dead.

In the 1980's the call on death was no EKG and flat EEG, or cessation of breathing for over 9 minutes or so. However, this wasn't always reliable either.

Sudden immersion in ice-water sometimes causes "diving reflex" to activate and victims can in rare instances be revived after appearing clinically dead . This is thought to be akin to the reflexive reaction marine mammals experience when they dive deeply and remain submerged for as much as an hour or more. During this time, blood transfuses, body processes decline sharply, breathing stops, and pulse can drop as low as 3 beats per minute, or less. In humans, the likelihood of diving reflex kicking in is dramatically improved with the coldness of the water, the youth of the victim, and the face being immersed.

An (AED) automated external defibrillator is a device that sends an electric shock to the heart that will restore the natural heart rhythm to the victim during a cardiac arrest.

When the AED electrodes are applied to the victim's chest, it automatically analyzes the heart rhythm and the rescuer is then advised whether a shock is needed to regain a normal heart beat. The heart has been defibrillated when the victim's heart resumes normal beating.

Do not use the AED if the person has a pulse.

Restoring the heart rhythm by using electrical shock is called defibrillation.

check pulse no pulse start cpr

Activate EMS after 2 minutes of care on the infant.

The emergency procedure is called a tracheotomy.

The age / weight limit that an AED can be used on a child is 8 years old or 55 pounds. If younger than 8 years old or 55 pounds, pediatric pads (which have reduced energy output) must be used.
