ortant If another person is with you when the child stops responding-or if you
can yell for help and get someone to come help you-send the other person
to phone the emergency response number or (911) and get an AED while you
start pushing hard and fast and giving breaths. You give compressions and
breaths; the other person phones and gets the AED.

you when you tap him and shout his name. An infant who doesn't "respond"

Compressmn
Definitions and Pushing hard and fast on the chest (compressions) is the most important part of
Key Facts
CPR. When you push on the chest, you pump blood to the brain and heart.
People often don't push hard enough because they're afraid of hurting the
infant. An injury is unlikely, but it is better than death. It's better to push too
hard than not hard enough.
If possible, place the infant on a firm, flat surface above the ground, such as a
table. This makes it easier to give CPR.
