Complete CPR, AED & First Aid Course: Adult, Child & Infant

Identify different cardiac emergencies and respond with CPR, ventilations, and prompt AED use to restore circulation, call 9-1-1, and protect brain oxygen.

Assess for pulse and breathing in respiratory arrest, then provide ventilations only; adults deliver one ventilation every 5–6 seconds, while children and infants do one every 2–3 seconds.

Assess scene safety before providing care, identifying hazards like water, electricity, or fire to protect yourself while administering first aid to someone in need.

Assess adults and children for responsiveness, pulse, and breathing within 10 seconds, then begin care if needed. Call the AED and 911 and start compressions promptly.

Conduct an infant emergency assessment by tapping the foot, checking for pulse and breathing within 10 seconds, ensure scene safety, then call 911 and start compressions with AED as needed.

Master adult CPR basics: perform 100–120 compressions per minute in a 30:2 cycle, with at least two inches depth. Switch providers every two minutes to manage fatigue.

Perform adult CPR at 100–120 compressions per minute with a 30:2 ratio; lock hands centered on the chest, use body weight, and start two ventilations if drowning is suspected.

Demonstrates how to deliver adult ventilations with a pocket mask or breathing barrier, ensuring an open airway, proper seal, and chest rise with two one-second breaths.

Learn compression-only CPR for adults, using discretion if a breathing barrier is unavailable; perform 30 compressions, rest briefly, then repeat as an alternative to ventilations.

Perform child CPR with depth around two inches, using one-hand or two-hand techniques based on the child's size, and follow 30:2 or 15:2 compression-to-ventilation ratios depending on provider presence.

Demonstrate chest compressions for adults and children using one- or two-hand techniques, adjust depth and ratios (15:2 or 30:2) based on provider and child size.

Apply ventilations for children using the same technique as adults, deliver two breaths with an open airway and proper seal using a pocket mask.

Infant CPR: use two-finger or encircling-thumbs chest compressions at 100–120 per minute, 30:2 for single or 15:2 for multiple providers, depth 1.5 inches; if depth isn't achieved, use one-hand method.

Learn infant ventilations, following 30:2 single rescuer or 15:2 two-rescuer ratios, using an infant mask with proper seal, neutral airway, and two initial breaths if drowning.

Learn how to place adult AED pads, prep the device, and follow clear safety steps before shocking, including pad placement positions, unplugged pads, and ensuring no one touches the patient.

Place AED pads on children by size: older kids use adult pads; smaller kids use infant pads below 55 pounds, with chest and back placements to avoid pad contact.

Infant AED pad placement is: one pad on the chest side and one on the back between the shoulder blades, with neck support when turning the infant.

Explore special AED scenarios, including avoiding pads over pacemakers, removing patients from water, not removing metal piercings before shock, and ensuring no one touches the patient, with age-specific pad variations.

Master choking response for adults by obtaining consent, calling 911 if declined, and performing five back blows followed by five chest or abdominal thrusts, with adaptations for pregnancy or wheelchair.

Learn how to handle choking in children by delivering five back blows then five chest thrusts, kneeling or standing as needed, including when the child is in a wheelchair.

Infant choking relief uses a neck-supported sandwich: five back blows and five chest thrusts, repeated until coughing or unconscious; if unresponsive, start CPR with compressions and two ventilations, call 911.

Learn to protect yourself and patients with proper personal protective equipment for bleeding, including gloves, gauze, and a cardiopulmonary resuscitation mask, and begin bleeding control steps.

Ask for consent, then apply direct pressure with gauze pads, add new pads as needed without removing the first, wrap the wound securely, and call 911 for major bleeding.

Conclude the CPR, AED and first aid course by reviewing the fundamentals for adults, children, and infants, including the CPR cycle, compressions, ventilations, choking control, and AED pad placement.
