September 19, 2013. 1  It's fitting, in some way, that Vladimir Guerrero and Todd Helton announced their retirements from Major League Baseball on the same day.
CPR FOR INFANTS. According to generally accepted guidelines, Infant CPR is administered to any victim under the age of 12 months. Infants, just as children, have a much better chance of survival if CPR is performed immediately. If you are alone with the infant, do not dial 9-1-1 until after you have made an attempt to resuscitate the victim. Check the infant for responsiveness by patting his feet and gently tapping his chest or shoulders.
A sentinel injury is a visible,minor injury in a precruising infant that is poorly explained and. therefore concerning for physical abuse. Sentinel injuries are common in abused infants and rare in nonabused infants. A history of a sentinel injury in an infant with suspected abuse should increase the level of. concern for maltreatment. Identification of a sentinel injury, reporting, and intervention may prevent further abuse.
