    This document provides instructions for performing infant and child CPR. It notes key differences from adult CPR, including compressing the chest 100 times per minute for infants, with a depth of 0.5-1 inches, and a 5:1 compression to ventilation ratio. For children, it instructs giving 30 chest compressions 1-1.5 inches deep at a rate of 100 per minute, with 5 cycles of compressions and 2 breaths between checks for a pulse. The document emphasizes proper hand positioning and documentation of CPR efforts.

    Introduction:

    So hello once again, so for this video I’m showing you my return demonstration again on
    how to do CPR, but this time I will be focusing on Infant and Child CPR. So expect that
    there will be differences about the procedures, so lets start!
    By the way, what is the difference between newborn and infant? so, for Infant we have
    to keep in mind these factors:
    We have to do at least 100 Rate of Compressions per minute instead of 120/minute.
    We have to do at least 0.5” to 1” Depth of Compressions instead of 0.5” – 0.75”.
    We have to do at least 5:1 ratio of Compression: Ventilation instead of 3:1.
    We have to do have at least 1 or more No. of Rescuers instead 2 or more.
    We have to do have at least 60/min target Heart Rate instead of 80/min.

    INFANT AND CHILD RD


    1. Opens airway and checks for breathing for up to 10 seconds using the Look, listen,
    and feel method.
    R: To maintain a patent airway and improve oxygenation by allowing the air to flow
    inside the lungs. Check the breathing to differentiate an unconscious individual from
    someone who is hypoglycemic, sleeping or in shock .

    2. If not breathing, gives two rescue breaths (1 to 1 ½ seconds each)


    R: To allow oxygen to flow inside the body when the heart rate is declining.

    3. Checks the victim for signs of circulation


    R: To determine whether the patient needs CPR.

    4. If no signs of circulation, proceeds to Cardio-pulmonary Resuscitation


    R: To revive the heart and restore blood circulation using chest compressions.
    INFANT:
    4.1 Finds the correct position for compression by using the two fingers on the lower half
    of the breastbone just below the nipples or Encircles the infant's chest with both hands
    and spreading fingers around the thorax, and places both thumbs together over the
    lower half of the sternum.
    R: Proper positioning of the fingers to the area of the chest allows maximum
    compression and facilitate effective resuscitation of the heart.

    4.2 Compresses the chest quickly and rhythmically at a rate of at least 100 compressions
    per minute.
    R: Facilitate proper number of compressions given to infant.

    4.3 Gives five cycles of chest compressions and two rescue breaths per cycle
    R: To continue reviving the heart and allow oxygen to flow inside the body when the
    heart is not yet working.

    CHILD:
    4.4 Puts one hand in correct position for chest compressions
    R: Proper positioning of the fingers to the area of the chest allows maximum
    compression and facilitate effective resuscitation of the heart.

    4.5 Gives 30 chest compressions in 1 to 1 ½ inches deep at a rate of 100 compressions


    per minute.
    R: Facilitate proper number and depth of compressions given to child.

    4.6 Continues five cycles of compressions and 2 rescue breaths per cycle.
    R: To continue reviving the heart and allow oxygen to flow inside the body when the
    heart is not yet working.
    5. After one minute of CPR, pauses and checks the patient for signs of circulation.
    R: To know whether to continue or stop the CPR.

    6. Puts patient in recovery position.


    R: To maintain the recovery process by allowing the body to adjust from deterioration
    and provide comfort as well.

    7. Documents the time the procedure started and the time of recovery.
    R: Documentation confirms that the procedure was done to the patient, it can also
    protect us against lawsuits. And it is indeed essential for communication of healthcare
    team members to acquire baseline data and deliver a great care to the patient.
