Breathing Normally?
WARNING:
“In the first few minutes after cardiac arrest, a casualty may be barely
breathing, or taking infrequent, noisy gasps. These are known as ‘agonal’
gasps, and should not be confused with normal breathing.”
If you are in doubt, start CPR.
Resuscitation4-8
First Aiders can use the adult sequence of resuscitation on a
child or baby who is unresponsive and not breathing.
Child and baby CPR7
For a babyunder 1 year, use two fingers
For a child over 1 year,use one or two handsto achieve an adequate depth
The following minor modifications to the adult sequence will, however, make it even more suitable for use in children:
If you are on your own, perform resuscitation for about 1 minute before going for help
Give five initial rescue breaths before starting chest compressions
Compress the chest by about one-third of its depth:
