Basic life support is a very important skill to be learnt by everyone
Child bls and infant BLS are important as they are different from adults
There are some differences between adult CPR and child CPR and BLS
In a child BLS there are scenarios where there may be 1 or 2 rescuers
If there are 2 rescuers available to do CPR , the compressions to breaths ratio is 15:2 , if only one rescuer is available the ratio is 30:2 for all age groups
For very small children we can use one hand compressions
The depth of the compression for a child is atleast 1/3rd the depth of chest this may be less than 2 inches for small children approximately 2 inches for large children
If only one rescuer on the scene and find an unresponsive child do CPR for 2 minutes before calling and EMS or look for an AED
In case of Choking for an infant
5 back blows and 5 chest thrusts
For child above 1 year apply thrusts
If bag mask is present its must be used rather than mouth to mouth breaths as it's more effective and oxygen supply can be connected to it
There are different sizes for different age group mainly there are infant, child , adult bag masks
