❥ FOR ALL CHILDREN, COMPRESS THE LOWER THIRD OF THE BREASTBONE:
To avoid compressing the upper abdomen, locate the lower part of breastbone by finding the angle
where the lowest ribs join in the middle. Compress the sternum one finger's breadth above this.
Compression should be sufficient to depress the sternum by approximately one-third of the depth of
the chest.
Release the pressure, then repeat at a rate of about 100 min
.
1
After 15 compressions, tilt the head, lift the chin, and give two effective breaths.
Continue compressions and breaths in a ratio of 15:2.
Lone rescuers may use a ratio of 30:2, particularly if they are having difficulty with the transition
between compression and ventilation.
❥ CHEST COMPRESSION IN INFANTS:
The lone rescuer should compress the sternum with the tips of two fingers.
If there are two or more rescuers, use the encircling technique:
Place both thumbs flat, side by side, on the lower third of the sternum (as above), with the tips pointing
towards the infant's head.
Spread the rest of both hands, with the fingers together, to encircle the lower part of the infant's rib
cage with the tips of the fingers supporting the infant's back.
Press down on the lower sternum with your two thumbs to depress it approximately one-third of the
depth of the infant's chest.
❥ CHEST COMPRESSION IN CHILDREN OVER 1 YEAR:
Place the heel of one hand over the lower third of the sternum (as above).
Lift the fingers to ensure that pressure is not applied over the child's ribs.
Position yourself vertically above the victim's chest and, with your arm straight, compress the sternum
to depress it by approximately one third of the depth of the chest.
In larger children, or for small rescuers, this may be achieved most easily by using both hands with
the fingers interlocked.

❥ COKING IN AN INFANT:
If there is no breath of baby, you should:
Lay the baby face down along your forearm, with their head low.
Give up to 5 back blows (as shown) between the shoulder blades with the heel of your hand. Check
their mouth quickly after each one and remove any obvious obstruction.
If the obstruction is still present.
Turn the baby onto their back and give up to 5 chest thrusts, with 2 fingers in the middle of the chest
push inwards and upwards. Check the mouth quickly after each one.
If the obstruction does not clear after three cycles of back blows and chest thrust, dial 999 (or 112)
for an ambulance.
Continue cycles of back blows and chest thrusts until help arrives and resuscitate of necessary.
Seek medical advice for any baby who has been given chest thrusts.
❥ CHOCKING IN A CHILD:
Young children are particularly prone to choking. If a child is unable to speak, cough or breathe:
Give up to 5 back blows between the shoulder blades with the heel of your hand.
Check the mouth quickly after each one and remove any obvious obstruction. If the obstruction is
still present give up to 5 abdominal thrusts. Place a clenched first between the navel and the bottom
