adult- pulse

child -pulse is greater than 60

Infant-brachial pulse is greater than 60

Infant/child one breathe every 3-5 seconds                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

Adult one breath 5-6 seconds

 permanent airway one breath 6-8 sec.

Compression only CPR

It is hoped that the use of compression only delivery will increase the chances of the lay public delivering CPR. For those with non cardiac arrest and people less than 20 years of age standard CPR is superior to compression only CPR.(wickedpedia)

BLS RENEWAL "CHALLENGE"

This option should only be used if you are confident in your skills and understanding of the current 2010 resuscitation guidelines. Although the goal is not to "fail" any participants, there is a possibility of this occurring. Please be aware of this before you select this option. Because this option does not include any instruction or review, our criteria for being successful must be relatively high and will not include any assistance, hints or prompting.

For those in need of a fast certification or renewal the eLearning option is a "stress free" alternative.
