Also, the ABC procedure will be changing to CAB Compressons, Airway, and Breathing soon. The numbers will probably be the same, but they will be changing the order. They found that the compressions are more helpful than the breaths. So, next time you take a class it may be different. I am taking a CPR/First Aid class right now, so be advised that some sites are still out of date.
just in case, the 2005 AHA guidelines (the latest) state that 15:2 ONLY WHEN THERE ARE TWO CAREGIVERS.IN INFANTS.. every other scenario is 30:2 (including one caregiver alone and "baby")
if the baby has been choking you dont have to check the pulse just go straight into cpr. if you are performing cpr on a baby that hasnt been choking check the pulse before the compressions and breaths. you are only supposed to do 15 compressions not 30
@DonLouiVer If you wait for there to be no pulse, that could be too late! What you need to check for is that the person is breathing. If you enter a room and a person is lying there unconscious, first you try to wake them up, get a response out of them. If none, then listen for breathing for 10 secs while watching to see if the chest rises. If none, give 2 rescue breaths. If the breaths do not go in and/or there are no signs of life, do 30 chest compressions & repeat this cycle until help comes.
okay as a lifeguard, your suppose to check level of consciousness first, then abc's and if theyre not breathing then yes start cpr. if you dont know what the abc's are i suggest you google it
Dis is really gud... Thxs :D

As of 2010, it is 30 compression to 2 breaths.

@Melissabunny1 Why would you do compressions before assessing their airway and breathing?

i think the first thing u should teach is panic control because most of the mothers in these cases get paniced and they loose precious time !

you don't do CPR when there is a pulse... of course, you're gonna check the pulse first...

kclove, if the airway is blocked, the chest will not rise.
