Baby & Child CPR: CPR & Choking for Infants and Children, Birth to 8 Years

Quick: remember the ABC's of CPR?* Featuring an impressive board of fifteen M.D. consultants, Baby & Child CPR outlines the new American Heart Association guidelines for choking emergencies and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The major change recommended here is that non-professionals not take the time to try to find a pulse, but look for signs of movement instead. Divided into separate portions for infants (12 months and under for an average-sized baby) and children ages 1-8, with virtually identical scripts except for a few critical differences, Baby & Child CPR is not a flashy presentation, but it is essential for public libraries and educators, due to the concise review and the updated standards. (*Incidentally, the answer to the ABCs question posed above is: Airway, Breathing, Circulation). Highly recommended. Aud: H, C, P. (R. Reagan)
