A heart attack occurs
when blood flow to a part of the heart muscle is blocked
causing cells to die and leading to permanent damage of the heart muscle.
Seek medical assistance immediately if you recognize a heart attack

Giving CPR
Giving CPR to an unresponsive, CHILD (1 - 12)
Only use
one arm
to compress
Verify that the infant is not responding and not breathing
Place the infant on his or her back on a firm and flat surface
Give 30 compressions
