Recognition of Cardiac Arrest in Children and Infants

- Check for responsiveness - No breathing or only gasping (not normal breathing) - No definite pulse or pulse < 60

Technique for the pocket mask

- Hold the mask with the correct grip (E-C Clamp) - Open the airway using the head-tilt-chin lift - Watch for effectiveness through chest rise - Deliver each breath over 1 second with just enough force to produce visible chest rise

Why is defibrillation important in the chain of survival?

- It can restore a regular cardiac rhythm - It eliminates the abnormal heart rhythm

- It can restore a regular cardiac rhythm - It eliminates the abnormal heart rhythm

Before starting CPR:

- Make sure the victim is on a firm & flat surface, lying face up - Remove any clothing quickly from the front of the victim's chest - You'll need to work with a bare chest, and later you'll attach the AED pads to bare skin
