What should be done if an unresponsive infant or child victim has a pulse and normal breathing?

What should be done if an unresponsive infant or child victim has a pulse and normal breathing?

If the victim is unresponsive but has a pulse and is breathing adequately, neither cardiac nor respiratory arrest is present. Such a victim does not need chest compressions or rescue breathing. If there are no signs of injury, place the victim in a recovery position. A recovery position keeps the airway open.

What is your first action if you find an infant or child unresponsive?

Call 999 as soon as possible and the operator will prompt you with questions. It is important to tell them that the baby is unresponsive and not breathing. Giving them as much information as possible will help them prioritise your call.

One of the biggest changes in the guidelines – implemented in 2005 – was to move from 15 compressions/2 breaths (15:2) to 30:2. The intention was to increase the number of chest compressions delivered per minute and reduce interruptions in chest compressions.

What is the compression to breath for 2 rescuer infant CPR?

A lone rescuer uses a compression-to-ventilation ratio of 30:2. For 2-rescuer infant and child CPR, one provider should perform chest compressions while the other keeps the airway open and performs ventilations at a ratio of 15:2.
