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.
Steps to Save a Life. Some of the most frequent questions untrained individuals have about CPR are queries about how to do chest compressions and how many compressions in CPR are required. Generally, during one cycle of CPR, there are 30 chest compressions for adults. This number is the same for infants and children as well. To perform a chest compression, one hand should be placed in the center of the personâs chest. The heel of this hand should be aligned with the personâs breastbone.
