which of the following are components of high-quality cpr for children?

High-quality CPR for children focuses on strong, fast, and minimally interrupted chest compressions with correct depth and rate, plus effective breaths with visible chest rise. It also includes allowing full chest recoil and minimizing pauses between compressions and breaths.

Key CPR components

• Compression rate of 100–120 compressions per minute for children.

• Compression depth about 2 inches, or roughly one third of the chest depth.

• Correct hand position on the lower half of the breastbone in the center of the chest.

• Full chest recoil after each compression, without leaning on the chest.

• Minimal interruptions in compressions, keeping any pauses as short as possible.

Ventilations and ratio

• Give 30 compressions followed by 2 breaths when performing single-rescuer CPR for a child (30:2 ratio).

• Each breath should last about 1 second and be just enough to make the chest rise visibly.

• Ensure the airway is open with head-tilt/chin-lift, avoiding overextension of the neck in smaller children.

Other quality elements

• Start CPR quickly once the child is unresponsive, not breathing normally, and has no signs of circulation.

• Use an AED as soon as it is available, with pediatric pads if the child is under about 55 lb, making sure pads do not touch.

• Continue cycles of compressions and breaths until the child shows signs of life, help takes over, or you are unable to continue.
