a. If help comes, send them to call 911
b. If no help comes stay with the child and scan for signs of breathing.
iv. If not breathing begin compressions.
c. 30 compressions at a rate of 100 beats per minute. Push down 2 inches
v. Give 2 breaths, making the chest rise.
vi. Do 5 cycles of CPR then go call for help.
vii. Come back to the victim and continue CPR until help arrives or the victim comes back to life.

These steps of CPR are very similar to the steps of CPR for an Adult and infants. The next post will cover the steps of CPR for infants. Please feel free to go back to the Adult steps for reference. Also, feel free to copy and re-post these steps for anyone to use.
