00:00:02,060 --> 00:00:09,050
Now we're going to cover healthcare provider level basic life support for the child.

2
00:00:09,050 --> 00:00:17,091
A child is going to be anywhere from over age one till the earliest signs of puberty.

3
00:00:17,091 --> 00:00:24,046
This is somewhere around maybe 12, 13, 14, 15...we're not sure, it's different for everybody.

4
00:00:24,046 --> 00:00:30,098
But, if you don't know the exact age or it's hard to distinguish whether the child is big enough to get

5
00:00:30,098 --> 00:00:35,077
adult cpr or child cpr, that's the guideline:

6
00:00:35,077 --> 00:00:39,068
Over the age of 1 up to the first signs of puberty.

7
00:00:39,068 --> 00:00:44,091
If they are showing signs of puberty and they're big enough, you can do right to adult CPR.

8
00:00:44,091 --> 00:00:56,001
This is a child approximately 10-11 years old, and they are now in the category of receiving the child CPR protocol.

9
00:00:56,001 --> 00:01:02,020
We are still going to check for scene safety, our gloves are on, our CPR shield is available.

10
00:01:02,020 --> 00:01:04,036
We call out to the child, "Child, are you okay?"

11
00:01:04,036 --> 00:01:10,068
There's no response they do not appear to be breathing, moving, making noise.

12
00:01:10,068 --> 00:01:13,095
You in the plaid shirt! Go call 911 and return.

13
00:01:13,095 --> 00:01:18,002
Activate the Emergency Medical Services, I might need your help.

14
00:01:18,002 --> 00:01:21,089
I'm now going to tap on the collarbone. "Are you all right are you okay?"

15
00:01:22,049 --> 00:01:23,078
No response.

16
00:01:24,027 --> 00:01:29,017
I check for a pulse, no more than 10 seconds.

17
00:01:29,017 --> 00:01:34,018
I do not feel a carotid pulse, there is no breathing, no moving.

18
00:01:34,018 --> 00:01:37,042
I go right into 30 chest compressions.

19
00:01:37,042 --> 00:01:44,022
I am going to compress about one third the depth of the chest, with one hand.

20
00:01:44,022 --> 00:01:52,041
1-2-3-4-5 Up to 30, Between the breast, center of the sternum, one hand.

21
00:01:52,041 --> 00:01:57,097
I am going to tilt the head back, cover the nose and the mouth with the mask,

22
00:01:57,097 --> 00:01:59,083
and give 2 breaths.

23
00:01:59,083 --> 00:02:03,075
If the 2 breaths go in, I am gonna continue 30 chest compressions again.

24
00:02:03,075 --> 00:02:07,058
I am going to do this 30 compressions to 2 rescue breaths, until an AED arrives,

25
00:02:07,058 --> 00:02:10,017
or until Emergency Medical Services arrives and takes over.

26
00:02:13,076 --> 00:02:16,020
Scene is safe, gloves are on, shield is available.

27
00:02:16,020 --> 00:02:18,046
"Child, are you okay, are you all right?"

28
00:02:18,046 --> 00:02:20,075
No response, they do not appear to be breathing.

29
00:02:20,075 --> 00:02:24,001
You in the plaid shirt! Go call 911 and come back.

30
00:02:24,001 --> 00:02:28,016
Check for a carotid pulse for no more than 10 seconds.

31
00:02:28,016 --> 00:02:32,021
I cannot easily palpate a pulse, I begin CPR one hand.

32
00:02:32,021 --> 00:02:37,061
(1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10)

33
00:02:37,061 --> 00:02:42,016
(11-12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-20)

34
00:02:42,016 --> 00:02:46,078
(21-22-23-24-25-26-27-28-29-30)

35
00:02:52,075 --> 00:02:55,025
One breath went in.

36
00:02:55,025 --> 00:02:57,013
Two breaths went in.

37
00:02:57,013 --> 00:03:00,055
I'm gonna do another 30 compressions, followed by 2 rescue breaths...

38
00:03:00,055 --> 00:03:02,070
followed by 30 compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths...

39
00:03:02,070 --> 00:03:07,050
until an AED arrives, or until Emergency Medical Services arrives and takes over
