Management	Detail
Breathing that requires CPR	If there is no breathing or only gasping
Chest compression	Location: Sternum just below the line connecting the nipples for infants, the lower half of the sternum for children
	Depth: At least one-third of the AP diameter of chest (4 cm for infants and 4 to 5 cm for children)
	Rate: 100–120/min
Chest compression to ventilation ratio without advanced airway	Chest compression-to-ventilation ratio=30:2
	Rescuers who are unwilling or untrained to perform rescue breaths should perform compression-only CPR
	Perform compression-only CPR during COVID-19 pandemic
AED	Turn on and use it as soon as you get AED
AED analyzes rhythm	Stop chest compression for rhythm analysis
CPR after shock	Resume chest compression immediately after delivering one shock
