cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr)

Are There Any Special Considerations?

Yes, several special considerations should be taken into account:
Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs): Use pediatric pads if available; if not, adult pads can be used but should be placed in the anterior-posterior position.
Choking: If a child is choking, perform back blows and chest thrusts for infants, and abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) for older children.
Hypothermia: If the child is hypothermic, handle with care and prioritize rewarming while performing CPR.
