none.
It isn't, and this is in fact incorrect.The correct procedure for infants and children is to start with 5 rescue breaths before chest compressions are even given. Once the 5 rescue breaths have been given the normal ratio of chest compressions to rescue breaths should be given (30/2).It should also be noted that the depth should be changed to a third of the depth of an adult for child and infant casualties. And of course child-1 hand, infant-2 fingers.
If the casualty is an adult then start with compressions. If the casualty is an adult, but has come out of water then 5 rescue breaths should be given before the usual 30/2 is given. If the casualty is a child or infant out of water or not you should start with 5 rescue breaths then continue with the usual 30/2.
In two-rescuer infant CPR, the compression to breaths ratio is 15:2. This means that for every 15 chest compressions, the rescuers should provide 2 rescue breaths. It's important to ensure that compressions are delivered at a rate of about 100 to 120 per minute, while the breaths should be given using a gentle puff, just enough to make the chest rise.
Five initial rescue breaths are given to children and infants. This aids in oxygenating the blood to stimulate breathing prior to beginning chest compressions.
In CPR, if the airway is open and the patient was given rescue breaths and the air is not going in, there may be something lodged in the patients throat, and the Heimlich maneuver should be performed.
For infant CPR performed by a single rescuer, the recommended ratio is 30 compressions to 2 breaths. If there are two rescuers, the ratio changes to 15 compressions to 2 breaths. It's important to use the appropriate technique for compressions and ensure that breaths are given effectively to provide adequate ventilation.
If the patient is not breathing, after giving 30 chest compressions or straight away in a child or someone who has drowned
American Heart Association CPR compression ratio is 30 compressions to 2 breaths. This is the ratio for Adults, Children, and Infants (lay rescuer). The compressions are given at a rate of 100/minute.
Thirty compressions and two breaths per cycle.
In a respiratory arrest, breaths should be given every 5 to 6 seconds if using a bag-mask ventilation technique, which equates to about 10 to 12 breaths per minute. If performing rescue breathing without advanced equipment, the same rate applies. It's essential to ensure proper airway positioning and seal to deliver effective breaths. Always assess the patient’s response and adjust your actions accordingly.
The rate is 30 compressions at a rate of 100/minute.
CPR for a infant is the same as a adult now; 30 compressions to 2 breaths (compressions given at a rate of 100 compressions per min). Each cycle of 30 compressions / 2 breaths should take 24 seconds.
