Summary

TLDRThis script educates on Child CPR, emphasizing the importance of recognizing a child's age range and size for proper CPR. It details the correct chest compression depth, which is 1/3 the depth of the chest, and the rate of 100-120 compressions per minute. The scenario involves a child collapsing on a soccer field, prompting a safety check and a call to 911. The rescuer performs CPR with 30 compressions followed by two rescue breaths, repeating this cycle until help arrives or the child revives.

  • 🔁 Perform compressions at a rate of 100-120 per minute, with a depth of one-third the chest's depth.
  • 🌀 After 30 compressions, give two rescue breaths, and repeat this cycle until help arrives or the patient shows signs of revival.
