Note: 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.
