Typically, infants need CPR because they are unable to breathe or are in cardiac arrest because of breathing problems. Here are a few stats that explain why it’s extremely important to know infant CPR:

• 7,000+ children suffer from cardiac arrest each year.
• The most common cause of cardiac arrest in young children is respiratory failure or obstruction in the airway.
• Over 21,000 infants died in 2018, with SIDS and suffocation being the 4th and 5th leading causes.
• Other circumstances that would require CPR attention for infants include smoke inhalation, head trauma, near-drowning, electrical shock, and poisoning.

What is CPR?

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) combines rescue breathing and chest compression techniques, suitable for every age, to revive a person who has gone through cardiac arrest, heart attack, stroke, or drowning.

CPR helps the heart return necessary blood flow throughout the body, including the brain. This life saving act can restore breathing until responders arrive to give further life support. Only perform CPR on infants who are not breathing independently or are unconscious/unresponsive.
