OPEN THE AIRWAY Tilt head back slightly, lift chin.
CHECK FOR BREATHINGCHECK quickly for no more than 10 seconds.■■ Occasional gasps are not breathing.■■ Infants have periodic breathing, so changes
in breathing pattern are normal for infants.
GIVE 2 RESCUE BREATHS If no breathing, give 2 rescue breaths.■■ Tilt the head back and lift the chin up.■■ Child: Pinch the nose shut, then make a
complete seal over child’s mouth.■■ Infant: Make complete seal over infant’s
mouth and nose.■■ Blow in for about 1 second to make the
chest clearly rise.■■ Give rescue breaths, one after the other.
QUICKLY SCAN FOR SEVERE BLEEDING
WHAT TO DO NEXT ■■ IF THE CHEST STILL DOES NOT CLEARLY RISE AFTER RETILITING HEAD —Go to
Unconscious Choking, PANEL 6.■■ IF NO BREATHING—Go to CPR, PANEL 7 or AED, PANEL 8 (if AED is immediately
available). ■■ IF BREATHING—Monitor breathing and for any changes in condition.
AFTER CHECKING THE SCENE FOR SAFETY, CHECK THE CHILD OR INFANT:
CHECK FOR RESPONSIVENESS Tap the shoulder and shout, “Are you OK?” ■■ For an infant, you may flick the bottom
of the foot.
CALL 9-1-1 If no response, CALL 9-1-1 or the local emergency number. ■■ If an unconscious child or infant is face-down, roll face-up, supporting the head,
neck and back in a straight line.
If ALONE—Give about 2 minutes of CARE, then CALL 9-1-1.
If the child or infant responds, CALL 9-1-1 or the local emergency number for any life-threatening conditions and obtain consent to give CARE. CHECK the child from head to toe and ask questions to find out what happened.
TIPS: • Use disposable gloves and other personal protective equipment whenever giving care.
• Obtain consent from parent or guardian, if present.
CHECKING AN INJURED OR ILL CHILD OR INFANTAPPEARS TO BE UNCONSCIOUS
TIPS: • If you witnessed the child or infant suddenly collapse, skip rescue breaths and start CPR (PANEL 7).
• Ifthechestdoesnotrisewithrescuebreaths, retilt the head and give another rescue breath.
CONSCIOUS CHOKING—CHILD CANNOT COUGH, SPEAK OR BREATHE
AFTER CHECKING THE SCENE AND THE INJURED OR ILL CHILD, HAVE SOMEONE CALL 9-1-1 AND GET CONSENT FROM THE PARENT OR GUARDIAN, IF PRESENT.

GIVE 5 ABDOMINAL THRUSTS ■■ Place a fist with the thumb side against
the middle of the child’s abdomen, just above the navel.
■■ Cover your fist with your other hand.■■ Give 5 quick, upward abdominal thrusts.
CONTINUE CARE Continue sets of 5 back blows and 5 abdominal thrusts until the:■■ Object is forced out.■■ Child can cough forcefully or breathe.■■ Child becomes unconscious.
WHAT TO DO NEXT ■■ IF CHILD BECOMES UNCONSCIOUS—CALL 9-1-1, if not already done. Carefully
lower the child to the ground and give CARE for an unconscious choking child, beginning with looking for an object (PANEL 6, Step 3).
TIP: Stand or kneel behind the child, depending on his or her size.
CONSCIOUS CHOKING—INFANT CANNOT COUGH, CRY OR BREATHE
AFTER CHECKING THE SCENE AND THE INJURED OR ILL INFANT, HAVE SOMEONE CALL 9-1-1 AND GET CONSENT FROM THE PARENT OR GUARDIAN, IF PRESENT. GIVE 5 BACK BLOWS
Give firm back blows with the heel of one hand between the infant’s shoulder blades.
GIVE 5 CHEST THRUSTS Place two or three fingers in the center of the infant’s chest just below the nipple line and compress the breastbone about 1½ inches.
CONTINUE CARE Continue sets of 5 back blows and 5 chest thrusts until the:■■ Object is forced out.■■ Infant can cough forcefully, cry or breathe.■■ Infant becomes unconscious.
WHAT TO DO NEXT ■■ IF INFANT BECOMES UNCONSCIOUS—CALL 9-1-1, if not already done. Carefully
lower the infant onto a firm, flat surface and give CARE for an unconscious choking infant, beginning with looking for an object (PANEL 6, Step 3).
TIP: Support the head and neck securely when giving back blows and chest thrusts. Keep the head lower than the chest.
UNCONSCIOUS CHOKING—CHILD AND INFANT CHEST DOES NOT RISE WITH RESCUE BREATHS
AFTER CHECKING THE SCENE AND THE INJURED OR ILL CHILD OR INFANT: GIVE RESCUE BREATHS
Retilt the head and give another rescue breath.
GIVE CHEST COMPRESSIONS If the chest still does not rise, give 30 chest compressions.
LOOK FOR AND REMOVE OBJECT IF SEEN
GIVE 2 RESCUE BREATHS
WHAT TO DO NEXT ■■ IF BREATHS DO NOT MAKE THE CHEST RISE—Repeat steps 2 through 4. ■■ IF THE CHEST CLEARLY RISES—CHECK for breathing. Give CARE based
on conditions found.
