*CPR for Infants

CPR for Infants (baby under one year)

Watch this video to see how to do CPR on an infant

You need to watch the video all the way through before you can complete the quiz

NOTE: Because a baby is smaller than a child, you only use 2 fingers to compress the chest.

CPR for Adults

CPR for adults is very similar to CPR for babies and children, but instead of giving 5 initial rescue breaths, go straight to 30 chest compressions followed by 2 breaths.

• This is because when an adult needs CPR it is usually because of a heart-related problem, whereas with infants and children it is usually due to a breathing problem.

You will be able to see this demonstrated in the video in the next lesson, about using a defibrillator.
