It\u2019s important to note that accidents are part of everyday life and they in some cases can\u2019t be avoided. A small child for example can chock on something. Taking CPR classes can put you in a position to handle such a situation and with a lot of ease. It\u2019s good to take classes for children who are one year and older even if you\u2019ve already received training on infant CPR. This is because they are totally different strategies and procedure used. Some of the techniques you are going to study include Heimlich and the chest thrust.<\/p>\n

According to studies, people gain confidence to handle real life emergencies the more they practice and partake in such sessions. You can visit the AHA (American Heart Association) website to locate a class near you offering CPR training. You can also log on to cpranytime.org to receive a home based CPR training course that comes with a mannequin and DVD.<\/p>\n

        It\u2019s imperative that you first of all check if you the child are responding. This can be done by tapping them or calling out their name. Don\u2019t perform CPR of any kind if the child does respond. You can commence the procedure if there is no response by opening their mouth to check if something s stuck down their throat. Remove the object if possible and start CPR.<\/p>\n

        2. The child should be put on a firm surface, no beds, and you should kneel or stand by their side preferably at their feet. Tilt the child\u2019s neck backwards<\/li>\n
        3. Put your ear to the child\u2019s mouth to see if they are breathing or see if their chest is falling and rising<\/li>\n
        4. Pinch the child\u2019s nose and gently give them two breaths using your mouth<\/li>\n
        5. You should then free them of any tight clothing and start compressing their chest. Repeat compression and breaths until the paramedics arrive or the child starts breathing<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
