Step 9. Do 30 chest compressions. Continue CPR for 2 minutes or a total of 5 sets of 30 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths. If you know or suspect the infant may have choked, check the mouth each time you open the airway to give breaths.
• Don’t take too long to give breaths. Chest compressions should not be interrupted for more than a few seconds.
Step 10. If you haven’t yet called 9-1-1, do so now and then continue doing CPR until 9-1-1 arrives and takes over or until the infant starts to breathe and move. If the infant begins to breathe but is still not responding, roll the infant onto her side with head tilted slightly back. Stay with the infant and wait for 9-1-1 to arrive. If the infant stops breathing, roll the infant to her back and resume CPR.
ROLE-PLAY: PARTICIPANTS PRACTICE ON INFANT MANIKIN
• Practice at least one scenario. Some scenarios will have the infant face-up and some face-down.
• Participants should stand to practice. If you have time, practice additional scenarios.
• Instructor will read scenario for participants to practice as a group. As each participant practices, Instructor calls out each step of infant CPR (steps 1-10 listed above).
• Use metronome, if available, for teaching the correct rate for compressions.
• Make sure that each scenario has a successful outcome, and after each scenario ask the participants how the situation could have been prevented.
Scenario #1
• You find 5-month-old Kayla who is sleeping face-down in her crib. You see no breathing motions. Your spouse is there with you.
Scenario #2
