Infant CPR steps

Alternative Names:
Rescue breathing and chest compressions - infant; Resuscitation - cardiopulmonary - infant; Cardiopulmonary resuscitation - infant
First Aid:
The following steps are based on instructions from the American Heart Association.
Check for responsiveness. Shake or tap the infant gently. See if the infant moves or makes a noise. Shout, "Are you OK?"
If there is no response, shout for help. Send someone to call 911. Do not leave the infant yourself to call 911 until you have given about one minute of CPR.
Carefully place the infant on his or her back. If there is a chance the infant has a spinal injury, two people are needed to move the infant without twisting the head and neck.
Open the airway. Lift up the chin with one hand. At the same time, push down on the forehead with the other hand.
Look, listen, and feel for breathing. Place your ear close to the infant's mouth and nose. Watch for chest movement. Feel for breath on your cheek.
If the infant is not breathing:
Cover the infant's mouth and nose tightly with your mouth
Alternatively, cover just the nose. Hold the mouth shut.
Keep the chin lifted and head tilted
Give 2 slow breaths. Do NOT give large, full, forceful breaths.
If the chest does NOT rise, try the chin lift-head tilt again, and give 2 more breaths. If the chest still doesn't rise, check to see if something is blocking the airway and try to remove it.
Look for signs of circulation -- normal breathing, coughing, or movement. If these signs are still absent, begin chest compressions.
Perform chest compressions:
Place 2-3 fingers on the breastbone -- just below the nipples. Make sure not to press at the very end of the breastbone.
Keep your other hand on the infant's forehead, keeping the head tilted back.
Press down on the infant's chest so that it compresses about 1/3 to 1/2 the depth of the chest.
Give 5 chest compressions. Each time, let the chest rise completely. These compressions should be FAST with no pausing. Count the 5 compressions quickly: "a, b, c, d, off."
Give the infant 1 slow, full breath. The chest should rise.
Continue cycles of 5 chest compressions followed by 1 slow, full breath.
After about 1 minute, check again for signs of circulation.
At this time, if the infant still does not have normal breathing, coughing, or any movement, leave the infant to call 911.
Repeat steps 11 and 12 until the infant recovers or help arrives.
If the infant starts breathing again, place him or her in the recovery position. Periodically re-check for breathing and signs of circulation until help arrives

Endhiran full story

earlier titled as Robot, is a forthcoming science-fiction Tamil–language film being directed by S. Shankar. Southern superstar Rajnikanth and Aishwarya Bachchan are playing the main lead in which Rajnikanth would be seen in a double role. This film has a huge budget after Aishwarya Bachchan’s Jeans which was directed by S.Shankar.
We spoke to a source close to the film,“The film has Rajnikanth playing two roles – scientist and the robot and its name is Endhiran, which is created by him. This film will focus on the situation which forced Rajini to make a robot and then his relationship with it and then the wishes he want the Robot to fulfil.”
Further about the plot
“The film is set in 2200 AD and he is a famous scientist who is in love with Aishwarya. Later on he is given a mission of creating robots but at certain point of time there is a big twist which is the USP of Endhiran. Later on he tries to bring back his creation but realizes that a robot which he had made is very hard and has started falling in love with the girl he loves and then the chase begins among the three and so on.”
The film formally began on February 15, 2008 in Chennai with the photo shoot but the actual shooting had started in Peru with a song and before New Year. Aishwarya was shooting with Rajnikanth in Chennai and then in Vellore. This film has a budget of 120 crores and it is slated to release on April 14th, 2010.The film will be releasing in Tamil.
