children
Keep the HeartStart out of reach of
children to avoid the potential risk of
inhalation or swallowing of small parts or
strangulation by pads cables.
Most cardiac arrests in children are not
caused by heart problems. When
responding to cardiac arrest in an infant or
child:
• Provide infant/child CPR while a
bystander calls EMS and retrieves the
HeartStart.

• If no bystander is available, provide 1-2
minutes of CPR before calling EMS and
retrieving the HeartStart.
• If you witnessed the child's collapse, call
EMS immediately and then get the
HeartStart.
Alternatively, follow your local protocol.
