First aid - Baby CPR

[usmcmike1978]

This is wrong all wrong, 30 and 2 is right but an infant should be placed on a table it is much easier to do compressions, and the opposite hand should be placed on the forehead to help keep the airway open, when dealing with an infant you will need to know rescue breathing as well.... Seriously Take a Professional Class.. A lot of these videos on here are wrong in some sort of way...

[EvilStreaks]

ive been looking for professional classes in my area for a while. nothing. better to know something than nothing. still, its irresponsible to put wrong/dated info in the public arena... and there's certainly lots of comments from people who are unsettled by these tutorials.

poster, i dont know enough to judge, but if these vids are as liablous as everyone reckons, then you might get into trouble =/ still, glad i know something rather than nothing now

[riddyzarzoff]

This'll do.

The thing is do something!!!!

Don't get worried about doing right or how many breaths or do I tilt the head back....Just do it:)

i agree with you!

For infants (28 days to 1 year), the London Ambulance Service teaches an initial 5 rescue breaths followed by CPR at a ratio of 15 chest compressions (at a rate of 100 per minute) to 2 ventilations. Also tilting the head of an infant back isn't such a good idea as it may actually narrow the trachea which is still soft tissue at this age. Better to place some padding under the infant's shoulder blades and keep the windpipe open and level that way.

this video isn't corect

[dmed911]

The video is actually both correct and incorrect. CPR differs in compression to ventilation ratios for first Aiders and EMS providers. The 2005 ILCOR committee figured that it is easier for a first aider to learn one set of ratios for all ages and that skills retention should be better than learning three different sets. For EMS providers the ratio is 15:2 for below 1 year...........or so I think.

[MikeyM91]

I was taught 15:2 ratio for children too (beginnig with 5 breaths).

u fucking dickhead and nob head

[Erren1234]

do 15:2 not 30:2 for all less than 1 year olds. This is because the respiratory system is more often the cause of cardio-respiratory arrest. otherwise good video

[acquar]

Actually no, the video is correct - the cycle is 30:2. These videos were produced by British Red Cross so funnily enough they are correct.

does this method include what to do with a newborn?
