adult cpr guidelines include which age range

Adult CPR guidelines apply to anyone who has reached puberty/adolescence and older, which is often approximated as about 13 years and up (including all typical “adult” ages).

Age ranges in CPR guidelines

• Infant CPR: from birth up to less than 1 year of age.

• Child CPR: from 1 year of age up to the onset of puberty/adolescence (commonly around 12 years old).

• Adult CPR: from the onset of puberty/adolescence and older; many training materials treat this as teenagers who look physically adult and all adults (often written as 13+ or 20+ depending on the classification system, but clinically based on signs of puberty).

In practice, providers are taught that once a person has clear signs of puberty (e.g., developed secondary sexual characteristics), you use adult CPR techniques and follow adult CPR guidelines.

TL;DR: For exam-style questions, the safest phrasing is:

Adult CPR guidelines are used for victims from the onset of puberty and older.
