The next step is to perform CPR with compressions and breaths (if the person helping is willing and able). For the child, it is advisable to start the CPR push on the middle of the chest and do it 30 times at a depth of two inches with one or two hands. Thirty compressions and then two breaths are provided for each cycle. For the infant, the CPR push is done on the middle of the chest 30 times at a depth of one and a haft inches with two fingers. The 30 compressions and two breaths are repeated. The AED should immediately be used as soon as it becomes available.
