Infant CPR (Basic Life Support)

This video walks through the steps of layperson CPR and choking intervention for infants (under 1 year of age). CPR is a lifesaving procedure that helps keep vital organs perfused in the event of cardiac arrest.
While the information in this video is correct to the best of my knowledge, always refer to official CPR recommendations and follow local policy, procedure, protocol and law when initiating medical care.

He was 3 weeks old at the time and my husband has to perform cpr while we waited for the EMTs…I can’t stress enough how important it is to know this. My baby was able to survive his heart attack because my husband was there to do the CPR as I didn’t even know how. Thank you so much for posting this.

I didn't even know babies could even have heart attacks, that's insane. I thought that was like either an old person thing or an unhealthy adult thing. I'm glad he had heart surgery and is doing well, and it's amazing that your husband was able to perform cpr on him, you picked right :)

So glad your child is ok and got diagnosed and treated. We @heartcharged are doing a big community infant/child CPR and choking class this weekend. We have a CHD ourselves. Definitely, a big step is getting people to realize even babies can have sudden cardiac arrest or a heart attack - so people will react to those conditions. As in, if you don’t know babies/children might have a heart condition, you don’t treat for one. @@jenniferfisher1721

[@tomyork8815]

I don't know if this is his first kid or not but the confidence with which he holds Oliver is awesome. At that really early age holding a baby confidently makes them feel secure even if you're doing what looks like manhandling them they will feel secure if you hold them confidently and they will become scared of being dropped if you don't. Nice job Prepmedic-dad.

Oliver is a chill lil dude, cool under the pressure of stardom. Question for everyone: do you have any unique tips on patient history gathering / techniques that work best for you? I’m a Canadian medic student trying to up my game for scenarios and so I’m wondering if theres any supplements to the standard SAMPLE/OPQRST questions. Take care.

[@thac0twenty377]

Medic here, 17 years. It's hard to give you feild tips by text. But in general in the field interview you get multiple pieces of information at once. So the patient says "Yeah I was doing the lawn and just couldn't breath so I sat down and caught my breath but not feeling much better" That's symptoms, sings, event, Onset, provocation, relief, severity, all in the opening sentence. More importantly, I see people skip steps and get less on point with questioning as they go on in their career. For the interview, do it the same way, every time whether it looks like ns or not. Any other questions feel free to ask, man. good luck!
