This photo is for illustrative purposes only to introduce the concept of lifesaving CPR. Older children and adults are encouraged to take a course led by AHA instructors to earn a course completion card in CPR and AED use. Even if children are too young or small to perform an effective chest compression, they can begin learning the steps, hand placement, and rhythm for proper CPR and begin to learn about AEDs and calling 9-1-1.
School-aged children are highly motivated to learn basic life-saving skills, such as recognizing a cardiac arrest, calling for help and performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation , according to a new scientific statement from the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation , the American Heart Association and the European Resuscitation Council.
Teaching children about CPR at regular intervals as they age will develop their skills and knowledge. For example, a 4-year-old who can identify when to call an emergency telephone number becomes a 10-year-old who may begin to perform effective chest compressions.
“Given that most cardiac arrests outside of a hospital will happen at home, it’s important that all members of the family understand what to do if someone has a cardiac arrest,” said Comilla Sasson, M.D., Ph.D., FAHA, a member of the statement writing committee, practicing emergency medicine physician and vice president for science and innovation at the American Heart Association.
