With a few notable exceptions, the infant goes through the same C-A-B process as children and adults. Place two fingers just below the nipples and just below the center of the chest. Unlike children and adults, you will cover the infant’s mouth and nose with your mouth. At 100 compressions per minute with 1-second breaths, the same C-A-B ratio is employed 30:2. Unless someone else can help, make sure you do five reps before contacting 911. Checkout more first aid and basic knowledge of life supports:

Examining Children

The American Heart Association has guidelines for children aged 1 to 8. With a few exceptions, the same procedure is followed with a youngster as with an adult. Before dialing 911, make sure you perform CPR. The chest compression to breathing ratio is 30:2. Look for breathing, listen for it, and feel for it. Check to see if anything is restricting your airway. Perform the Breathing assignment while squeezing your nose shut.

Review for Adults

Check and see whether the patient is awake by repeatedly yelling, “Are you okay?” If the patient does not answer, dial 911 right away. After that, do the C-A-Bs. Use two hands to compress the chest at a rate of 100 compressions per minute for 30 seconds, then mouth-to-mouth. Tilt your head back and listen for breathing before checking for any reaction. Breathing – mouth-to-mouth – squeeze the patient’s nose shut and seal their mouth with yours, then breathe once the patient’s chest has inflated. If not, use the airway procedure until your chest expands. Every 30 chest compressions, take two breaths for 1 second each.

Review of First-Aid

When struggling with amputations, dial 911 as soon as possible. Bandaging the stump will help to stop the bleeding. Keep the limb in a sealed plastic bag on top of the ice to manage it properly. Bites and stings require the administration of auto-injection and, if necessary, CPR. The severity of the burns varies depending on how badly the patient has been injured. Remember that there are three types of degrees: first-degree, second-degree, and third-degree.

Treatment:

Keep the burn as cool as possible. Apply an ointment to the burn. To avoid infection, wrap the burn. Repeat with a second-degree burn. If the burn is a third-degree burn, do not remove any materials from the patient.  Raise the burned body parts above the heart to relieve pain and raise blood pressure. Using a damp cloth, cover the burns.

Bruises can be treated in a variety of ways. Use an ice pack or a cool towel to relieve the pain. Allow the patient to take pain medication if necessary. Consider getting the patient to the hospital for a concussion if the bruise is on the head. If a patient goes into cardiac arrest, perform CPR, use an AED as soon as possible, and call 911 for life supports.
