🔷️ WHAT DO YOU DO IF A ADOLESCENT CHILD IS NOT BREATHING? An adolescent child is 13 - 18 years.
🚑 CALL 999 / 112 and put mobile phone onto speaker phone
👀 LOOK! 👂LISTEN! 🌬 FEEL for up to 10 seconds....
Look - down the body can you see the chest rising and falling?
Listen - for any unusual sounds of breathing
Feel - for any warm breath against the side of your cheek
Give 5 initial rescue breaths followed by 15 compressions. Then give two breaths and return to 15 compressions. Keep the CPR sequence going at 15:2
Place one hand (for a smaller child) two hands in the centre of the chest (for a adolecent) and push down 5 - 6cm. Push at a speed of 100-120 beats per minute
