• Stay composed and act decisively during high-stress situations

What is CPR?

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving procedure performed when someone’s breathing or heartbeat has stopped. Infant CPR uses specialized techniques—gentler compressions and smaller rescue breaths—to fit a baby’s size and needs. These methods help keep oxygen circulating while reducing the risk of injury until emergency responders arrive.
