Final answer:

In a cardiac emergency, CPR and an AED can help save a person's life.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a cardiac emergency, CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and an AED (automated external defibrillator) can be used to help save a person's life. Here are the steps to perform CPR:

Check for responsiveness and call for help.

Start chest compressions by placing the heel of your hand on the center of the person's chest and pressing hard and fast.

If possible, use an AED by following the voice instructions.

Performing CPR and using an AED can help restore blood circulation and prevent brain damage while waiting for professional medical assistance.

I see no photos, but the steps are…
1. Check that you are in a safe area, if not you must move the child.
2. check for responsiveness
3. Check pulse and breathing for 5-10 seconds (NO MORE THAN 10)
4. initiate emergency response- call 911 and get the AED
5. Begin chest compressions at a 100-120 BPM rate.
6. Maintain a balance of 30 chest compressions to 2 breath ratio
7. After 3 sets of 30 compressions and 6 breaths use the AED.
Since she is young child, 8 or younger, one pad goes to the middle of the chest and the other goes on the same area, but on her back.
8. Inform EMS of what you have done so far.


Sorry if it’s not what you are looking for, but i did my best without the photo
