How to do Child CPR Compressions

Place the heel of one hand on the breastbone — just below the nipples. Make sure your heel is not at the very end of the breastbone.
Keep your other hand on the child’s forehead, keeping the head tilted back.
Press down on the child’s chest so that it compresses about 1/3 to 1/2 the depth of the chest.
Give 30 chest compressions. Each time, let the chest rise completely. These compressions should be FAST and hard with no pausing. Count the 30 compressions quickly: “1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30, off.”
Give the child 2 more breaths. The chest should rise.

Continue CPR (30 chest compressions followed by 2 breaths, then repeat) for about 2 minutes.

After about 2 minutes of CPR, if the child still does not have normal breathing, coughing, or any movement, leave the child if you are alone and call 911. If an AED for children is available, use it now.

Repeat step 9 until the child recovers or help arrives.

If the child starts breathing again, place them in the recovery position. Periodically re-check for breathing until help arrives.
