Steps to perform CPR on a child (1-8 years old)



  1. Check Consciousness - tap shoulder and shout 'Are you OK?'. If there is no response, position the child on his or her back on a hard, flat surface.
  2. Call for Help - Ask someone to call 911 and get the AED, if available. If you are alone give 2 minutes of care and then call 911 and get the AED.
  3. 2 Rescue Breaths - Tilt the child's head back and lift the chin. Look, listen, and feel for any breathing. If the child is NOT breathing give 2 breaths while pinching the child's nose.
  4. Compressions - Give 30 chest compressions at the rate of 100 per minute. Use the heel of one or two hands (depending on the size of the child) and compress in the center of the chest between the nipples. Press the sternum approximately one-third to one-half the depth of the chest.
  5. Repeat - Repeat with 2 breaths and 30 compressions. Continue giving breaths and compressions until the child responds or help arrives. If an AED is available, turn it on, apply the pads as quickly as possible, and follow the prompts.

Choking - Conscious Child (1-8 years old)

Become educated in CPR - learn how to save a life!

B.E. CPR is a non-profit that aims to raise awareness & make CPR education easily accessible for parents

We are passionate about spreading the importance of becoming educated in CPR to save the lives of those we love around us.

Accidental injuries, including choking and drowning, are the leading cause of death in children - and send over 16 million kids a year to the emergency room.
Over 70% of all cardiac and breathing emergencies occur in the home when a family member is present and available to help a victim.
CPR saves lives. Statistics show that the earlier CPR is initiated, the greater the chances of survival. In fact, the American Heart Association estimates that 100,000 to 200,000 lives of adults and children could be saved each year if CPR were performed early enough.
