    1. The document outlines the basic steps for performing life support on pediatric and infant victims, including checking the scene and victim for safety, assessing responsiveness, opening the airway, checking breathing and pulse, calling for help, retrieving an AED, performing CPR, and using an AED if needed. 2. Key steps include performing a head tilt-chin lift maneuver to open the airway, placing hands to check for breathing on the chest and feeling the carotid or brachial artery to check for a pulse. 3. CPR involves performing chest compressions at specific depths and rates, with rescue breaths in between compressions, until an AED can be used to analyze the heart rhythm and deliver

    BASIC LIFE SUPPORT (PEDIA & INFANT)

    1. Check scene safety


    Rationale: To ensure that surrounding is safe thus prevent more casualties
    2. Check victim's responsiveness
    a. Pedia- *Tap shoulders * “Hey! Hey! Are you all right?”
    b. Infant- stimulate foot (kilitiin)

    Rationale: We do not perform CPR to conscious patient


    3. Open the airway
    Do the head tilt -chin lift maneuver (straightens airway)
    Rationale: To allow free flow air during CPR and rescue breaths
    4. Determine if the victim is breathing and has a pulse
    a. Pedia
    Breathing- Padaanin hand from nose-mouth/ place palm on chest
    Pulse- Carotid artery on your side of the victim’s neck
    b. Infant
    Breathing- Padaanin hand from nose-mouth/ place palm on chest
    Pulse- Brachial artery on inside of the victim’s upper arm
    Rationale: Indication that their heart is not working properly and need CPR
    5. Call for help
    “Help! Help! I have a victim here who is not breathing and no pulse, you with
    a blue shirt, call 911”
    Rationale: Because we must not leave the patient
    6. Send for AED
    “You with a Violet skirt, look for an AED and immediately send it back
    here”
    Rationale: Because we do not leave patient
    Note: Start CPR while waiting for AED
    7. Start CPR
    a. Pedia
    - 2 inches deep
    - 2 hands on lower half of the breastbone
    - 30 CC (5 cycles)
    - After 1 cycle, Head tilt and chin lift, pinch nose observe chest rise & fall then;
    - 2 rescue breaths in mouth
    a. Infant
    - 1.5 inches deep
    - 2 fingers on lower half of the breastbone
    - 30 CC (5 cycles)
    - After 1 cycle, Head tilt and chin lift, pinch nose observe chest rise & fall then;
    - 2 rescue breaths in mouth & nose after 1 cycle
    Rationale: To keep oxygen flowing in and out of the lungs
    Note: Do not interrupt compressions by more than 10 seconds
    8. Use AED
    Steps:
    - Open
    - Turn On
    - Dry chest if wet
    - Remove med patches
    - Open Pads
    - Check for pacemaker
    - Apply pads
     Pedia- 1st : upper right chest above the breast; 2nd: lower left chest below
    the arm
     Infant- 1st : front of the chest; 2nd: to the back
    - Ensure proper wire attachment
    - Move away (to not alter heart rhythm reading)
    - If message states “Shock”:
    “I am clear, You are clear, Everybody clear (Press and hold the
    flashing shock button until the shock is delivered) Shock!”
    Rationale: To analyze the heart rhythm and deliver an electric shock thus restore
    the heart rhythm to normal
    9. Do the recovery position
    Rationale: To keep their airway clear and open
