7.5 RESPONDING TO A SUDDEN CARDIAC
ARREST USING THE CellAED® ON AN
INFANT WEIGHING LESS THAN 10 kg (22 lbs)
STEP 1 ASSESS SAFETY OF LOCATION
Ensure that no obvious danger is present, and that
the area is safe for you to provide chest compression
CPR and administer the CellAED®.
DANGER: Do not use the CellAED® while the infant is
in or is near a pool of water or on any other conductive
surface(s). Carefully remove the infant if necessary.
Ensure that the infant is dry before using the CellAED®.
STEP 2
DETERMINE WHETHER THE INFANT IS
IN SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST
An infant in SCA is typically:
• Unconscious,
• Unresponsive when you talk to, touch, or tickle
their feet/under their arms
(Figure 11, page 41) ,
and
• Not breathing or taking occasional gasping
breaths, accompanied by strange vocalizations
and muscle spasms (agonal breathing).
STEP 3
CALL EMERGENCY SERVICES AND
RETRIEVE THE CellAED®
If the infant is unconscious, unresponsive, and not
breathing normally, or if you are unsure whether
they are in SCA, remain with the infant and call or
have a bystander call Emergency Services. Send
a bystander to retrieve the CellAED®. Inform
Emergency Services that you have a CellAED® and
follow their instructions.
If you are alone, and a telephone is not close by,
commence chest compression CPR (for instructions,
see STEP 4) for 1 minute (60 seconds), before
retrieving a telephone and calling Emergency
Services, and retrieving a CellAED®. Inform
Emergency Services that you have a CellAED® and
follow their instructions.
STEP 4 START CHEST COMPRESSION CPR
Start chest compression CPR to keep the infant’s
blood flowing. To perform chest compression
CPR on an infant weighing less than 10 kg (22 lbs)
(Figure 12, page 41) , complete the following:
i) Place 2 fingers over the sternum, in the centre
of the patient’s chest.
ii) Press straight down on their chest and deliver
chest compressions of no more than one third
of the infant’s chest cavity.
iii) Release the pressure. Pressing down and
releasing is 1 compression.
Perform 5 chest compression CPR and check for
breathing
(Figure 12, page 41) . If the infant remains
unresponsive and not breathing normally, commence
chest compression CPR at a rate of 120 per minute
(twice per second) for 1 minute (60 seconds).
STEP 5
PREPARE THE INFANT FOR
TREATMENT WITH THE CellAED®
The CellAED® has been designed for use on people
who are unresponsive and unconscious, and who
have ceased breathing or have abnormal (agonal)
breathing associated with SCA.
DANGER: Do not store or use the CellAED® near
flammable gases (such as in an oxygen-enriched
atmosphere) or in direct contact with flammable material.
Store in a dry location away from any heat sources
