Question

What things should you do differently if performing CPR on a infant instead of an adult? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

When doing CPR on an infant you tap on their foot instead of shaking them like an adult. Also ask if theyre okay, even though they wont understand you, just in case they are sleeping shouting something and tapping their foot may wake them up. Check for pulse on arm instead of carotid, if you are by yourself, compressions are still 30-2, but if there are two rescuers, it will switch to 15-2. When doing compressions for an infant, use two fingers and go down an inch or maybe a half inch. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Use just two fingers for chest compressions
