6. To do CPR on an adult or child you use the heel of your hand and
place hands in the center of the chest on the breastbone.
7. Effective compressions are straight up and down, at about 100 compressions per minute, they are smooth and regular with your hand staying in one spot in the center of
the breastbone.
9. Infants who are having difficulty breathing making a wheezing or
high pitched sound while breathing.
10. If some one is coughing you should encourage them to
continue coughing . You may need to go to a private area with them
so they can cough forcefully enough so that they are not
discouraged by others around.
11. Causes of cardiac arrest in children and infants include: SIDS,
traumatic injury, airway obstruction, breathing problems due to things like allergies and
asthma
17. In giving abdominal thrusts to a child or adult you should put your fist in the middle of the
abdomen just above the navel.
18. You should hold an infant who is conscious and choking face
down with the head lower than the chest so you can give back blows.
19. When performing CPR on an infant you should place 2 fingers in
the center of the breast bone between the nipples and the other
hand on the forehead.
20. Chest compressions should be given with 2 fingers to an infant in
the center of the chest on the breast bone in a straight up and
down motion. These compressions should be delivered at the rate of 100 per minute . They should be
smooth and regular and at the depth of about 1. 5 inches.
22. If an infant can not cough, cry or breathe you should do cares for
choking. If an adult or child can not speak, cough or breath you
should do cares for choking.
