I. Initial Assessment & Airway Management (Applicable for Single and Two
Rescuers)
SNO STEPS S NI U
(1) (0.5) (0)

1. Ensure scene safety and use


appropriate PPE
2. Check for responsiveness
3. Call for help/Activate emergency
response system
4. Assess airway patency
-Open airway using head-tilt/chin-lift
(if no cervical injury) or jaw-thrust (if
cervical injury suspected)
-Check for airway obstruction and
clear if needed
-For airway obstruction: Perform 5
back blows and 5 chest thrusts (infant)
or abdominal thrusts (child) if choking
is suspected.
5. Assess breathing and pulse for no
more than 10 seconds:
-Check carotid (child) or brachial
pulse (infant).
-Look for chest rise (breathing).

II. SINGLE-RESCUER CPR (INFANT & CHILD)

SNO STEPS S NI U
(1) (0.5) (0)

1. If no pulse or pulse <60 bpm with


poor perfusion, start CPR:
Infant: 2 fingers in the center of the
chest just below the nipple line.
Child: Heel of one hand on the lower
half of the sternum.
2. Perform 30:2 compression-to-
ventilation ratio:
Compress 1.5 inches (infant) or 2
inches (child) with full chest recoil.
3. Deliver effective breaths using mouth-
to-mouth or bag-mask device:
Ensure visible chest rise.
4. Continue CPR cycles until help arrives
or the child shows signs of life.

III. Two-Rescuer CPR (Infant & Child)

SNO STEPS S NI U
(1) (0.5) (0)

1. Rescuer 1 performs compressions;


Rescuer 2 manages airway and
breathing.
2. Perform 15:2 compression-to-
ventilation ratio:
Infant: Two-thumb encircling
technique.
3. Child: Heel of one hand or two hands
if large child.
4. Deliver effective breaths using a bag-
mask device:
Ensure visible chest rise.
5. Switch roles every 2 minutes to reduce
fatigue

SNO STEPS S NI U
(1) (0.5) (0)
