Remember your ABC’s of CPR

  • Airway: tilt the head back and lift the neck to clear the airway.
  • Breathing: pinch the child’s nose or cover his mouth and nose with your mouth making a tight seal, and give two breaths, watching for the chest to rise with each breath.
  • Circulation: if there is no pulse, administer 30 chest compressions – 1 hand, 1 inch. 

3. Continue to perform CPR for 1 to 2 minutes before dialing 9-1-1.

4. Check for pulse and if necessary perform the cycle again, checking for pulse every minute.
