Tutorial: Infant CPR
Infant CPR is adapted from adult CPR to account for the fragile body and tiny heart and lungs of the baby. Your compressions and finger placements are adjusted to revive the infant without further harm. The following presentations describe the adjustment you will make.
View the tutorial below to learn the proper steps to perform CPR on an infant. It is a good idea to take notes as you watch, since you will be responsible for knowing these steps.
