Infant and Child Choking & CPR quick tips:
If your child appears to be choking on an object, and is still coughing and crying-let them continue to cough or cry, as this is a partial obstruction and you want to encourage them to cough it out. If the child starts to turn red or blue or stops coughing or crying, that means they are not moving air anymore and it is time to help them with the choking algorithm.
For children who are unresponsive, CPR can be a life-saving measure, so it’s important to assess their breathing and pulse and move to the algorithm of CPR that is required for that child’s age.
