Cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a child is performed in the image.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
The major Highlight of the 2010 AHA Guidelines for CPR is the Change from “A-B-C” to “C-A-B”. The newest development in the 2010 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC is a change in the basic life support (BLS) sequence of steps from “A-B-C” (Airway, Breathing, Chest compressions) to “C-A-B” (Chest compressions, Airway, Breathing) for adults and paediatric patients (children and infants, excluding new-borns). However the A-B-C (Airway – Breathing –Compression) sequence is still retained for neonates since cardiac arrests in neonates are nearly always from asphyxia.
| CPR | Adult and Older Children(puberty and Older) | Child (1 year to Puberty) | Infant(Less than 1 year old) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indication | Unresponsive | Unresponsive | Unresponsive |
| Open the Airway | Head tilt-chin lift(SuspectedTrauma:Jaw thrust) | Head tilt-chin lift(SuspectedTrauma:Jaw thrust) | Head tilt-chin lift(SuspectedTrauma:Jaw thrust) |
| Check BreathingIf the victimis not breathing,give 2 breathes that make the chest rise | Take atleast 5 seconds and no more than 10 seconds. | Take atleast 5 seconds and no more than 10 seconds. | Take atleast 5 seconds and no more than 10 seconds. |
| First 2 breaths | Give 2 breaths(1 second each) | Give 2 breaths(1 second each) | Give 2 breaths(1 second each) |
| Check PulseAt least 5 seconds and no more than 10 seconds | Carotid pulse(if no pulse,start CPR) | Carotid pulse(if nopulse or pulse is less than 60 bpm with signs of poor perfusion,start CPR) | Brachial Pulse(if no pulse or pulse is less than 60 bpm with signs of poor perfusion,start CPR) |
| Start CPR | |||
| Compression Location | Centre of sternum between nipples | Centre of sternum between nipples | Just below nipple line on Sternum |
| Compresssion method:push hard & fast andallow complete recoil | Hands interlaced | Heel of one hand | Two-Three fingers or twothumbs encircling hands |

| Compression Rate | 100 per minute | 100 per minute | 100 per minute |
| Compression-Ventilation ratio | 30:2 | 30:2 for 1 rescuer CPR(15:2 for 2 rescuer CPR) | 30:2 for 1 rescuer CPR(15:2 for 2 rescuer CPR) |
| Foreign body obstruction | Back blows & Chest thursts | Hemlich maneuver | Hemlich maneuver |
