Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Assess the situation to ensure it is safe for you to approach the child. This is critical to avoid putting yourself in danger.
Step 2: Confirm the child is unresponsive by tapping their shoulders and shouting to try to get a response. If there is no response, proceed to the next step.
Step 3: Check for normal breathing by observing the chest for movement and listening for breath sounds. This should take no more than 10 seconds.
Step 4: If the child is not breathing normally or is only gasping, call for emergency help immediately or instruct someone nearby to do so. If you are alone, use a phone to call emergency services while staying with the child.
Step 5: Begin chest compressions immediately. Place the heel of one hand on the center of the child’s chest and push hard and fast at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute. Do not give the child anything to drink or leave them alone.
