Practice: Child CPR
The scene is safe, my gloves are on, my CPR
shield with the one-way valve is available. "Are you alright, are you OK?" No response,
no normal breathing. "You in the plaid shirt, go call 911 and come back. If you can find
an AED, bring that with you." If no one to call, I'll dial 911 on my phone, leave it on
speakerphone for prompting from the dispatcher. Start in with my 30 chest compressions. [Begins
CPR] I'm gonna continue 30 chest compressions and two rescue breaths until EMS arrives and
AED arrives, someone equally trained or higher takes over, and the patient begins to respond
and breathe normally.
