      How do you do CPR on an infant? Even though everyone hopes they’ll never need it, CPR is one of those things that everyone should be able to perform. This is especially true for parents and other caregivers because learning CPR may help you save the life of your kid or newborn.

      Unfortunately, because the techniques are different, having adult CPR certification does not immediately allow you to conduct CPR on children or infants.

       

      The best approach to be completely ready for a situation where CPR on a baby or toddler is helpful is to enroll in a certification course designed especially for those age groups. But at Infant CPR, we think it’s essential that everyone at least understands the fundamentals.

      Today, we’re disclosing the most important, must-know details regarding how to provide CPR to a toddler or newborn.

      How Do You Do CPR On An Infant? (Ages 0-1)

      If you ever find yourself in an emergency when you need to conduct CPR on a child, you may quickly refer to these five fundamental instructions (a child under one year of age).

       

      First, Make Sure It’s Responsive (How Do You Do CPR On An Infant?)

      Scream and lightly tap the baby’s foot or shoulder. If the infant is not breathing, proceed to the following step and dial 911 right away.

       

      Give 30 Chest Compressions In Step Two.

      Place the infant on a solid, level surface. Locate the center of the chest with your two fingers right below the line drawn between the nipples. At a pace of 100/minute, press down until your chest is 1/3 the thickness. The Bee Gees’ “Staying Alive” is a suggested song when pushing, according to the AHA.

       

      Third Step: Widen The Airway.

      Leaning back somewhat, but not too much, tilt the head.

       

      Step 4: Inhale Twice

      Give two moderate breaths while sealing your mouth around your nose and watching to feel your chest rise and then fall.

       

      Step 5: Keep Performing Cpr On The Baby Until Assistance Comes

      The brain and other essential organs continue to get blood until more advanced medical assistance can take over.

      Register for the online infant CPR program offered by Infant CPR for more thorough instructions on how to do CPR on an infant.

       

      How To Administer Cpr To A Child (Ages 1-8)

      If you ever find yourself in a scenario where you have to do CPR on a child, you can quickly refer to these basic procedures (between 1-8 years of age). The U.S. National Library of Medicine’s data served as the foundation for these recommendations.

       

      First, Make Sure It’s Responsive (How Do You Do CPR On An Infant?)

      Gently tap or shake the kid. shout “Are you okay?” or the name of the youngster. Continue to the next step if the youngster is unresponsive and you are by yourself. Tell your companion to dial 911 if they are with you.

       

      Give 30 Chest Compressions In Step Two

      The youngster should be on their back. (Note: To avoid the child’s head and neck from twisting and causing a spinal injury, the child should be moved by two people.) Just below the nipples, place the heel of the hand on the breastbone. Continue to tilt the child’s head back. 30 times press down till your chest is 1/3 its thickness. There shouldn’t be any pauses during the quick, hard compressions.

       

      Third Step: Widen The Airway

      By pressing down on the forehead, raise the chin and turn your head backward.

       

      Step 4: Check For Breathing By Looking, Listening, And Feeling.

       

      With your face directed toward the child’s chest, place your ear close to their lips and nose. You’ll be able to do this and hear, feel, or even see the chest rise and fall. Go to step 5 if the youngster is not breathing.

      Step 5: Give Two Rescue Breaths In (How Do You Do CPR On An Infant?)

      Pinch the nose shut and cover the child’s mouth with your own (tightly, forming a seal). Give two breaths while maintaining a raised chin, observing the chest expand before letting go. It should take roughly a second between breaths.

      Step 6: Perform CPR continuously until assistance arrives (30 chest compressions, 2 breaths, repeat)

      Give CPR for at least two minutes if you’re by yourself before stopping to dial 911. After dialing 911, keep performing CPR until help comes.

      Register for the Child CPR class offered by Infant CPR for more thorough instruction on conducting CPR on small children.

      In the event that you ever find yourself performing CPR on a toddler or infant, following these easy steps will help you be ready.

You will feel more confident as a parent or caregiver after taking one of these easy, in-depth courses. Enroll right away!
