What is the formula used to identify the fifth percentile for systolic BP
70 mmHg + (age in years x 2)
An infant is described as what in years of age.
A child is described as what in years of age.
Less than 1 year in age.
from 1 year to puberty.
If you find an unresponsive pediatric pt with no normal breathing but has pulse, what do you ?
When do you initial compressions?
When do you activate the emergency response system?
- Provide 1 rescue breath every 3-5 seconds or about 12-20 breaths per minute.
- Initiate compressions if pulse remains less than 60 with signs of poor perfusion.
- After 2 minutes of rescue breathing, activate the emergency response system and begin CPR.
To minimize delay in starting CPR, assess breathing and pulse at the same time, this should take no more than __ seconds.

Where should you palpate a for a pulse in an infant?
bronchial artery, upper arm
Where should you palpate for a pulse in a child?
carotid or femoral artery, in either the neck or the groin.
If the victim is not breathing normally and has no pulse, what are your priorities?
First 3 steps.
- Leave the victim and activate the emergency response system or code team.
- Go get or send someone for an AED.
- Begin high quality CPR for 2 minutes.
What should you use to deliver compressions in an infant.
Child?
- 2 finger chest compressions
- One or two hands.
After initiating CPR, if you are still alone and have not activated the emergency response system, what do you do?
- Leave the victim to activate the emergency response system and find an AED.
- Use the AED as soon as possible.
After using the AED, whether shock completed or no shock advised, you begin CPR starting with what?
compressions.
What are 4 signs of poor perfusion?
- Cool extremities
- Altered mental status
- Pulselessness
- Skin color;
- paleness, mottled, patchy, and later cyanotic
True or False
The single rescuer compression to ventilation ratio is the same in adults, children, and infants.
- True
- The universal rate is 100 to 120 per minute with a ratio of 30:2
What is the compression to ventilation rate for 2 rescuer for a child or infant?
15:2
For infants, the single rescuer should use what technique for compressions.
Multiple rescuers should use what technique?
- Two finger technique.
- Multiple rescuers should use the 2 thumb encircling hands technique.
For an infant, what is the preferred method of delivering compressions?
The 2 thumb encircling hands technique.
After every __ compressions, pause and give __ rescue breaths lasting __ second each using the what technique?
