b'ChapterAdult & Child Above 1 YearA Child is 1 to 18 years of age (or up to onset of puberty if their age is unkown)Visually locate the point of compression.Place the heel of one hand on top of the first.Interlock the fingers of both hands or grasp the wrist of your first hand. Position yourself vertically above the patients chest.With your arms straight, compress the chest approximately one third of the depth of the chest. This is more than 5cm in adults , approximately 5cm in children and 4cm in infants.Release pressure without removing hands and repeat compressions at a rate of100-120 per minute (almost 2 compressions per second).Depress the sternum rhythmically. Compression and release should take equal amounts oftime.Give 30 chest compressions, then apply backward head tilt and chin lift. Give 2 rescue breaths.Correctly locate point of compression and repeat compressions and rescue breaths. Continue compressions and rescue breaths at a ratio of 30 to 2. Baby (under 12 months) Apply only 2 fingers (index and middle) over the lower half of the sternum.Compress the chest approximately4cm (1/3 depth of chest).Give 30 chest compressions followedby 2 gentle rescue breaths (gentle puffs). Continue compressions and rescue breaths at a ratio of 30 to 2.Rib fractures and other injuries are common but acceptable consequences of CPR, the alternative could be fatal.44 Resuscitation'
