What is the main difference between the CPR performed on teens, adults, and infants?

For teens and adults, alternate compressions and breathing.
For teens and adults, do compressions before calling 9-1-1.
For infants, perform chest compressions and rescue breathing.
For infants, check for signs of life and circulation first.

In infants and children, there's a more likely chance of airway blockage than adults. You should administer CPR FIRST, BEFORE CALLING 911.
Teens and adults are just the opposite: 911 FIRST!
