Pediatric CPR:

CPR for infants and children is different than for adults—and knowing those differences can mean the difference between life and death. In children under 1, the most common cause of cardiac arrest is respiratory failure, not a cardiac issue. That means effective rescue breaths combined with compressions are vital.

Guidelines from the American Heart Association recommend 30 compressions followed by 2 breaths for a single rescuer, using two fingers on the infant’s chest, with compressions about 1.5 inches deep at a rate of 100–120 per minute (AHA Pediatric BLS Guidelines, 2020).

We provide hands-on pediatric CPR training using infant and child mannequins to prepare parents, teachers, and caregivers for these critical situations.
