Answer 1

Begin high-quality CPR, starting with chest compressions is the most appropriate action to take next

What should be done if a youngster is not responding?

• If a baby or child is unresponsive and has abnormal breathing (e.g., taking irregular or noisy breaths, or has stopped breathing entirely) and no signs of life, they are in cardiac arrest.
• When a baby or child goes into cardiac arrest, their heart stops beating and they are unable to pump blood throughout their body.
• This means that vital organs, such as the brain, are deprived of oxygen and can begin to deteriorate within minutes.
• Although cardiac arrest occurs less frequently in babies and children than in adults, it is still fatal.
