  2. Push hard, push fast: compress at a rate of 100-120/min with a depth of: a) At least 2” for adults b) At least 1/3 depth of chest, about 2”for children c) At least 1/3 depth of chest, about 1 ½” for infants
  3. Allow complete chest recoil
  4. Minimize interruptions in compressions to <10 sec
  5. Give effective breaths that make chest rise
  6. Avoid excessive ventilation

What is cardiac arrest in adults often caused by?

A sudden cardiac event

What is cardiac arrest in pediatrics often caused by?

A result of respiratory failure and shock

What are the steps in the adult chain of survival in- hospital?

What are the steps in the pediatric chain of survival?

  1. Prevention of arrest
  2. Early high-quality CPR
  3. Rapid activation of EMS
  4. Effective advanced life support
  5. Integrated post-cardiac arrest care
