AEDs and other emergency supplies should be obtained by lone rescuers before returning to the patient. Send someone else to get the defibrillator or AED and other emergency supplies if one is available.
Since there are two rescuers on the scene, you should have one of them check the victim's respiration and pulse while the other turns on the AED. In order to start CPR as soon as possible, the respiration and pulse can be monitored concurrently by a single rescuer.
For victims 8 years of age and older, choose adult pads rather than kid pads.
The next intervention is to simultaneously check for a pulse and breathing after confirming that the person is not responsive. When evaluating respiration in a child, you can feel the carotid or femoral pulse and look for rise and fall in the chest.
When more than one rescuer is available, you should start CPR with a 15:2 ratio of compressions to breaths after verifying that the youngster does not have a pulse. Start performing CPR right away.
Always make sure the area is secure for both you and the victim before starting emergency procedures.
No one, not even the rescuer in charge of administering rescue breaths, should touch the sufferer while the AED rhythm analysis is taking place.
The next step is to engage the emergency response system once you have determined that the patient is not responding and have yelled for assistance.
There are several tasks that need to be completed right now.
‥ Compress between 100 and 120 times each minute.
‥ Apply at least a 2-inch (5 cm) chest compression.
‥ After every compression, permit the chest to fully decompress.
‥ Ensure that each cycle includes 30 compressions and 2 ventilations.
‥ Comply with any AED-provided instructions.
After making sure the area is secure, you should tap the victim on the shoulder and ask, "Are you OK?"
The maximum duration allotted for checking for a pulse is ten seconds. minimize the time it takes to perform CPR. Results are improved by reducing the wait.
