Check for infant’s pulse using the brachial artery on the inside of the upper arm between the infant’s elbow and shoulder.Check for child’s using the carotid artery on the side of the neck or femoral pulse on the inner thigh in the crease between the leg and groin. Perform compressions on the infant using two fingers (if you are by yourself) or two thumbs with hands encircling the infant’s chest (with two rescuers).Perform compressions on a child using one or two handed chest compressions depending on the size of the child. Compression depth should be one third of the chest depth; for most infants, this is about 1.5 inches.Compression depth should be one thirdof the chest depth; for most children, this is about two inches.

Great review tests This makes sure you understood what you read

Fast good read. Concise. All encompassing. Good prep for coarse and worth having to look over before a test. Cover cardiac,covers shock and signs syptoms. With lots of reviews

Just the facts ,ma'am

Cuts out all non essential stuff.Easy to study and was a good review for a one day refresher course taken recently.
