PEDIATRIC CPR Explained Simply

Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) according to the American Heart Association (AHA) involves specific steps tailored to infants and children up to puberty. The process begins with ensuring the scene is safe for both the rescuer and the patient. Once safety is confirmed, check the child’s responsiveness by gently tapping and shouting. For infants, you should tap the bottom of the foot. If there is no response, activate the emergency response system. If you are alone with a child or infant and there is no response, perform CPR for 2 minutes before leaving to call emergency services. If another person is present, have them call emergency services immediately.
Next, open the airway using the head-tilt-chin-lift technique. Be careful with the amount of tilt, especially in infants. Check for breathing and a pulse for no more than 10 seconds. For infants, check the brachial pulse, and for children, check the carotid or femoral pulse.
For chest compressions in infants (under 1 year), use two fingers in the center of the chest, just below the nipple line, pressing to a depth of at least 1.5 inches (4 cm) at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute. For children (1 year to puberty), use one or two hands (depending on the size of the child) on the lower half of the breastbone, pressing to a depth of at least 2 inches (5 cm), but not more than 2.4 inches (6 cm), at the same rate of 100-120 compressions per minute.
After compressions, provide rescue breaths. For both infants and children, give 2 breaths after every 30 compressions (or 15:2 if two rescuers are present). Each breath should last about 1 second and make the chest rise visibly. Use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) as soon as it is available. For infants and children under 8 years, use pediatric pads if available. If not, use adult pads, placing them so they do not touch each other. Follow the AED prompts and resume CPR immediately after each shock, continuing until the child shows signs of life or emergency medical personnel take over.
Continue cycles of 30 compressions and 2 breaths (or 15:2 if two rescuers are present) until the child shows signs of life, an AED is ready to use, or professional help arrives. These steps ensure that CPR provided to pediatric patients follows the AHA's guidelines for optimal outcomes.
Be great,

JUST PASSED MY NREMT Thank you for your help Evan. To anyone watching this comment.. here’s my advice. There is no one trick. I was in a class of 16 people. We all used a lot of study apps and KZbin videos. Evan’s videos were by far the most helpful. We all passed. But all 16 of us wished we would have read the every chapter In our book in detail. It’s hard, but it’s worth it. The NREMT will throw out some wild questions. Know your signs and symptoms, apgar, gcs, ops, trauma, medical and obgyn cold. Read👏your👏book👏 and learn his videos. Good luck. We had lots of people that passed in 70, one passed at 100, 120 and 117. So don’t let that psyche you out either.

Finished my emt class 2 months ago on 5/17/24. My first attempt on the nremt exam I ended up not passing and finishing at around 120 questions. Took it Monday again after a month and passed at 70 questions. Just wanted to say your videos really helped me through the confusion I had on some material and in the class. Definitely gonna get your video vault for when I start paramedics.

[@meepcaster]

As a trainer, I really like your distinction of "BLS" airway vs "ACLS." It's a great visualization aid.

[@TheParamedicCoach]

Thanks for the kind words here!

In medic school and going over this again

[@benbelardo]

Can you please do Paediatric Drug Calculation? Thank you

[@Mrgnothing1]

Does continuous compressions with an advanced airway not cause raised intrathoracic pressure with the faster ventilation rate? As I know evidence suggests in adults fast ventilations above 10 resp cause reduced cardiac output? Also do you not give 5 rescue breaths and also start compressions if HR is less than 60?

[@shoop1e424]

I am about to do EMT school. Any tips? (Anyone answer please)

What is the top thing you wish you knew before even going into EMS?

Yes if that doesn’t work intubate

[@craigmelchiano72]

You start CPR on an infant if their heart rate is below 60 BPM, correct? Is that still the case with a 2 or 3 year old?

[@mariosantiago2088]

No an infant heart rate is much higher so 60 is low for infants and it changes for children
