- When performing chest compressions on a child proper hand placement is even more crucial than with adults. Place two fingers at the sternum (the bottom of the rib cage where the lower ribs meet) and then put the heel of your other hand directly on top of your fingers (Figure 1). A child's smaller and more fragile body requires less pressure when performing compressions. The rule to remember is 1 hand, 1 inch.

- C is for CIRCULATION. An infant's pulse is checked at the brachial artery, which is located inside of the upper arm, between the elbow and the shoulder (Figure 1). Place two fingers on the brachial artery applying slight pressure for 3 to 5 seconds. If you do not feel a pulse within that time, then the infant's heart is not beating, and you will need to perform chest compressions.

- RATIONALE/Nursing Considerations. 1  May be mistaken for artifact or leads may be off. 2  Asses situation. If a second person is getting the defibrillator, establish an airway and begin CPR. 3  Convert to pediatric size for children or internal if the patient is has an open chest. Enhances electrical conduction through subcutaneous tissue and assists in minimizing burns. Limit to paddle area.Use 2 joules/kg for children.
