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.
CPR can consist of many different things, but the initial, vital part is Basic Life Support (BLS). Basic life support of babies and children with a tracheostomy. This covers the techniques required for BLS of babies (up to one year of age) and children over one year of age who have a tracheostomy. This is not a substitute for receiving training in BLS but aims to serve as a reminder of what you have been taught.
