How to React and Correctly Perform CPR on an Infant<\/h2>\n

Managing a non breathing infant can be confronting. Knowing the steps to perform CPR on an Infant will arm you with the skills and confidence to do so.<\/p>\n

The upper airway in infants is easily obstructed because the trachea (windpipe) is soft and may be distorted by an excessive backward head tilt or chin lift.
\nIn infants, the head should be kept neutral. The lower jaw should be supported at the point of the chin. There must be no pressure on the soft tissues of the neck. If this does not provide a clear airway, the head may be tilted backwards very slightly with a gentle movement.
\n(Infant is a child under the age of 1)<\/p>\n

This CPR on an Infant Fact Sheet steps you through the process of performing CPR and potentially saving a life.<\/p>\n

What to do:<\/h3>\n

Give 30 compressions:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Place the infant on their back on a firm surface.<\/li>\n
  2. Locate the lower half of the sternum (breastbone) in the centre of the chest.<\/li>\n
  3. Place 2 fingers over the lower half of the sternum.<\/li>\n
  4. Press down on the infant\u2019s chest by about one-third depth.<\/li>\n
  5. Release the pressure. Pressing down and releasing is 1 compression.<\/li>\n
  6. Give 30 compressions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Giving 2 breaths:<\/h4>\n
      \n
    1. Tilt the infant\u2019s head back very slightly.<\/li>\n
    2. Lift the infant\u2019s chin to bring their tongue away from the back of their throat. Avoid pressure on the neck and the soft tissue under the chin.<\/li>\n
    3. Give breaths by placing your lips over the infant\u2019s mouth and nose, and blow steadily for about 1 second, watching for the chest to rise<\/li>\n
    4. Turn your mouth away from the infant\u2019s mouth and watch for chest to fall, and listen and feel for signs of air being expelled. Maintain head tilt and chin lift.<\/li>\n
    5. Take another breath and repeat the sequence above. This is now 2 breaths.<\/li>\n
    6. If the chest does not rise, recheck the mouth and remove any obstructions, and ensure there is a good seal around the mouth and nose.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
