Though CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) should be administered by individuals trained at a certified first aid course, lay bystanders can also make a significant difference in the survival of children undergoing cardiac arrest. For youth under one years of age, follow [[Do CPR on a Baby|infant CPR protocol]] and for adults, follow [[Do CPR on an Adult|adult protocol]]. Basic CPR involves chest compressions, airway opening and rescue breathing. If you are not formally trained in CPR, it is recommended that you use compression-only. | Though CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) should be administered by individuals trained at a certified first aid course, lay bystanders can also make a significant difference in the survival of children undergoing cardiac arrest.
