CPR for Infants and Children

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation for infants (birth to 1 year) and children (1 to 8 years) also has ABC treatment similar to that for adults, but there are a few important differences.
They're given below.

Airway
Be careful when handling an infant. Don't tilt the head back too far. An infant's neck bends so easily that if the head is tilted back too far, the breathing passages may be blocked instead of opened.

Breathing
If an infant isn't breathing, don't try to pinch the nose shut. Cover both the mouth and nose with your mouth and breathe slowly (1.0 to 1.5 seconds per breath). Use enough volume and pressure to make the chest rise. With a small child, pinch the nose, cover the mouth, and breathe the same as for an infant

Circulation
Check pulse. In an infant, check for a pulse by feeling on the inside of the upper arm midway between the elbow and the shoulder. Check for the pulse in a small child the same way you would in an adult.

Assessment and Activation

If you don't get a response from an infant or child, send someone to call your local emergency medical service (usually 911) and begin CPR. If you're alone, do one minute of CPR before leaving to call 911. Return to the victim and continue CPR until help (EMS) arrives.
