I am CPR certified and although I believe shaking is okay if you know the injury but the best way to check for an infant is to hit the bottom of the foot. This is because the nerves are very concentrated there and the baby would respond if CPR is not needed... and a lot of the information is a still very iffy... but better than not knowing at all. It's best to take a class and get certified every 2 years because it is always changing and they will give you the correct information
Love all the people saying don't shake the baby. Chill out! I am CPR qualified and have alway been taught to lightly shake the victim. Just don't shake the shit out of your baby! A quick light shake will easily reveal consciousness. Love all the know it alls. You might loose a child because you didn't start CPR soon enough because you are checking to many things before starting.
Jerame Phillips Exactly. This is exactly what my father did when my newborn sons alarm went off, he instantly bolted over and shook him awake speaking loudly to him to get him to stir. Infants are more resilient than we comfortably think, so long as you don't go overboard.
I went back to work on Monday and work said we will be getting our CPR up to date. From that point, I never wanted to get caught without keeping it fresh in my mind. Thanks for posting on youtube.
Outstanding video....why? She taught the difference between "1 year olds", kids, and adults with respect to techniques. Good introduction! You've just saved lives.
Great video!I have done the classes in the past and just like to keep myself up to date and fresh with the knowledge of the technique. I have a 17 month old baby boy and don't want to ever get caught in the positions of not knowing what to do if the time comes. Last year, i actually did CPR to an elderly neighbor. I haven't went through the training in almost 2 years and knew I had to take control and do something. His family was not calm. Called 911, they gave directions,I followed and he lived
Just had a nightmare where a baby needed CPR and I was the only person qualified who could do it. Even in the dream I knew I did the CPR wrong, even if the baby started to regain life. That nightmare was a real wake-up call to brushing up my CPR skills.
no matter how many classes you take, in a real life situation, for some people, it’s difficult not to panic and go blank. I’ve been in situations where CPR was being done, and it’s amazing how many “certified” people do it wrong.
I am trained and certified in CPR & AED use on adults, children, and infants and no mater who it is or there age YOU NEVER, NEVER SHAKE A PERSON NO MATER WHAT THEIR LEVEL OF CONCISENESS IS!
ARK1X Correct!!! For an infant you want to tap their feet, but not shake! For an adult you just want to yell out Hey! Hey! Are you ok! If no response then assume they are unconscious and start CPR, especially if you did not see how they fell to the ground!!!
Overall good video.. also want to add that for babies we give a cheek puff for rescur breaths, and also be careful not to tilt baby's head too far back- cause then u r closing the airway off.

Could you please edit the video to not include the advice to "shake the baby"? Some people might take this a bit too seriously to the point of SBS and that's not exactly the goal in saving the life of a child. Other than that, very helpful video!
Nice video, but you should really put some proper captions on there as opposed to the auto-generated ones on there for those who are hard of hearing or deaf.
This is Great! The first video i saw required a mask and i was like "Not everyone carries an air compression mask in their pocket!" I was stupid. But thanks to you i can help give the parents of the child im babysitting comfort :D
Good video. I would however suggest to change the way the rescue breaths are demonstrated. Better move away with your head after the first breath to breath in fresh air before giving the second breath. Else you are going to breath in your own stale air and render the rescue breaths less efficient. Initially 5 breaths are given, then alternate 30 compressions and 2 rescue breaths. As taught in the red cross courses.
marengala Only 2 are supposed to be preformed... you only should take 10 seconds between each break from compressions, no matter adult or infant, 5 would take too long and blood can hold oxygen for a while... might not be enough to revive but it keeps them alive... ish... until EMS arrives
Brent Yarbrough yes, if you dont and something is in the airway you can make that object go deeper into the airway and make them choke.... if it is close to the opening of the mouth you can try and remove it but its not advised as you can lodge it in further
Samantha Beckett Incorrect... you perform cpr and breaths. It would actually be better because you could free the air way if the object gets deeper... it will have to be removed at that point but it's better to have the breathing at the moment, and of course after compressions you check for objects in the throat.
About 5 years ago my nephew(he was hardly . 1 n a half years old) fall into a bucket of water. Sooner her mom reached to him they took him to hospital and later her mother told us that when she saw him. he was kind of half breathing but they dont know anything. Although they did not wait for ambulance to arrive (because in our part of world its not wiser, as roads are congested and streets are narrow) but they baby expired. Now after watching these videos I think a CPR could have saved him
Graciela Solis That makes me nervous too. My instructor always said “compress fast and hard!!!” And I hear people saying you have to do it kinda violently, and ribs breaking is common.
The depth of infant compressions is 1 - 1 1/2 inches and you do it right below or between the nipple line better to break something then to lose their life
for general reference, a broken sternum is a million times better than a dead baby. Many times CPR results in broken ribs. This is normal and completely resolvable.
DONT SHAKE. flick the soles of the feet. Prevent shaken baby syndrome. Also you can pad the baby's shoulders to put it at level with their hands since heads are larger on babies. Neutral position and don't over extend the neck.
See, I know some Moms won't think of doing so or didn't get the time yet, but this video is supposed to teach you BEFORE anything like this happens for an emergency to prepare you in ADVANCE (and God forbid you'll need to do it, but it does happen). You're not supposed to wait until your baby actually needs CPR this exact moment and then try watching and following the video as it happens, That's not safe to do, because the video isn't. ..how do I say it...able to be speedy (?) enough to relay all the info you need in the time you're limited to. (If that males sense). Although I do wish there was an very quick easy tutorial for Moms that need it that instant, but this video just isn't that. I actually did that too, (with my first baby as a teen mom years ago) when my baby was actually choking that ai didn't know what to do somai have to speed look it up on youtube. Not quick enough. But luckily by the time I even reached the info I needed, he got his airway unblocked on his own, but it still scared the piss out of me. So now that I'm on my 2nd little one again, I'm making sure I'm refreshed with this because he's starting to eat solids and likes putting things in his mouth. So I am preparing for the it ahead of time. I even should have looked at this a long time ago before he was even born, so even I made the mistake of waiting so long, too. :( I actually think it's best to take a CPR class, which I have yet to do, so you can get a better full understanding of the procedure and hopefully they'll let you practice with dolls. :) Good luck Mommys, and Daddys!
These CPR videos for infants are pretty damn scary because they leave one important detail out of it. And that is that an infant lungs are a lot smaller than a full grown adult so when you breathe into an infant you must have a mouth full of air and puff it into the infant not from your lungs it can cause lung eruptions causing death!!!!!
Great Vid, Just make sure that u use a barrier device... Do not put your bare mouth on any1, Not a child, not an adult... Babies have deadly diseases that can kill 2. So think safety. U dont wanna contract anything.
You did not check the brachial... Look listen and feel after you jostled the baby which is NOT ideal, you are to check the foot, or shout, never shake a baby..... Compressions are 1 1/2 inch
This is WRONG everyone please note for a CHILD the compressions 15:2 15 compressions for every 2 breaths! Also it is easier on a baby to place your hands under the child and to compress with your thumbs!
***** no its not its 30:2 no matter who, and the depth of the patients thumb.... in St John just going over this and my father just did a refresher corse
Sheryl Ciaccio Well, the idea is to watch this video now and learn as much as you can before you need to use it. Not to wait until your child is in danger to run to the computer, load up youtube, and try to figure it out then. So, I would think if you have a child then whatever length of time it takes to be educated would be worth it to save your kid.
***** Oh, I see. I apologize. With that understanding, I still feel this is an important enough subject that she should be thorough and clear. I don't understand why everyone is in too big of a hurry to learn things. Modern age, I guess.

Taina Rondil That almost made me spit out my drink!
Jerame Phillips I agree! But if you are too scared to shake, then you should hit the bottom of their foot... if they respond, then they are awake

Just had a nightmare where a baby needed CPR and I was the only person qualified who could do it. Even in the dream I knew I did the CPR wrong, even if the baby started to regain life. That nightmare was a real wake-up call to brushing up my CPR skills.
Same thing happened to me. I did everything right, but did not bring the baby back. So heart breaking.
no matter how many classes you take, in a real life situation, for some people, it’s difficult not to panic and go blank. I’ve been in situations where CPR was being done, and it’s amazing how many “certified” people do it wrong.
Clear and helpful.

ARK1X that little shake she showed is not life threatening. What your talking about is anger shaking out of frustration
ARK1X Correct!!! For an infant you want to tap their feet, but not shake! For an adult you just want to yell out Hey! Hey! Are you ok! If no response then assume they are unconscious and start CPR, especially if you did not see how they fell to the ground!!!
Thank you very much, I needed to know this as I will be taking care of my 9 month old grand daughter.
Very helpful
Thank you
Thank u so much. Excellent video.
This video is very helpful.
Thank you!

HAVE TO GO TO A COURSE!

Is ymca providing free classes
Nice video, but you should really put some proper captions on there as opposed to the auto-generated ones on there for those who are hard of hearing or deaf.
Thankyou
After 2 minutes,can you start again?
This is Great! The first video i saw required a mask and i was like "Not everyone carries an air compression mask in their pocket!" I was stupid. But thanks to you i can help give the parents of the child im babysitting comfort :D
Can someone clear up where to put the heel of your hand for an adult, child, and baby?
Good video. I would however suggest to change the way the rescue breaths are demonstrated.

What about checking the airway before compressions?
94nomusicnolife never... compressions always first... no matter what you perform compressions first
I've taken cpr classes and its annoying that the certification expires after like 1 year
Do you need to check the air-way for objects before giving breaths?
Brent Yarbrough yes, if you dont and something is in the airway you can make that object go deeper into the airway and make them choke.... if it is close to the opening of the mouth you can try and remove it but its not advised as you can lodge it in further

The Waking Reality do back compressions to get the object out
I want to know more please 😋
What happened to checking for object in the mouth.
About 5 years ago my nephew(he was hardly . 1 n a half years old) fall into a bucket of water.

TheScorpian91 expired?!? Wtf
the only thing that throws me off is the inches to press like I'm scared like what if you break the sternum or something
Graciela Solis

Came here because of CPR class
You touch the baby's feet for response
im not a pearnent
Great Vid, Just make sure that u use a barrier device... Do not put your bare mouth on any1, Not a child, not an adult... Babies have deadly diseases that can kill 2. So think safety. U dont wanna contract anything.
You're kinda dumb. Babies don't have deadly diseases, or else they'll be dead and everyone around them will be.
Well, B my guest... Bcus SURELY u wouldnt look that up 2 c where im gettin this from...
I've taken care of babies, and I'm sure that babies don't carry deadly diseases.
No more talking until u have looked it up!!!!!!
is not that babies carry deadly diseases.........but are you sure that cpr performer ( in this case you) don't carry any disease?
You did not check the brachial... Look listen and feel after you jostled the baby which is NOT ideal, you are to check the foot, or shout, never shake a baby..... Compressions are 1 1/2 inch
This is WRONG everyone please note for a CHILD the compressions 15:2 15 compressions for every 2 breaths! Also it is easier on a baby to place your hands under the child and to compress with your thumbs!
It's only 15:2 for two man CPR it's still 30:2 if you're working alone
***** no its not its 30:2 no matter who, and the depth of the patients thumb.... in St John just going over this and my father just did a refresher corse
D Trim No its not. No matter if your performing on an infant, adult or alien... 30:2 is the ratio... always do 30...
No,30:2 breaths if it's only 1 person. 15:2 breaths when there's two people when they do an AED
Perhaps tap the foot? Seriously.
i'm sorry but this is very poor.
Pressing on ribs, tipping the Baby's head back. Nah
So much blahh blahhh if I have to save my baby and don have time to watch this all day.... Come on
Sheryl Ciaccio Well, the idea is to watch this video now and learn as much as you can before you need to use it.

With that understanding, I still feel this is an important enough subject that she should be thorough and clear.
I don't understand why everyone is in too big of a hurry to learn things. Modern age, I guess.
Thank you!
