Comments on: How to Perform CPR on a Child

on 9/22/2008 Most people are still not aware of the new standard of 32:2 (compressions vs rescue breaths). That is why it is so important to get recertified every two years. If you live in Central Minnesota. I recommend In-Pulse CPR to be recertified.

on 7/31/2008 Several notes:
-This is the old standard of CPR. The AHA has updated to involve a ratio of 30:2 (compressions vs. rescue breaths) for two-rescuer CPR, and 15:1 in one-rescuer CPR. Compressions should also be performed midway along the breastbone, approximately between the two nipples.
-In order to really learn how to perform CPR (at the correct speed, with the proper compression depth), maintain an open airway, and to learn how to administer proper and effective rescue breaths, please take a CPR course! It is well worth the time and money.
