CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, is an important procedure for everyone to know. When performing CPR on a child over 1 year old, keep in mind that the lung capacity of a child is far less than that of an adult. Use less pressure in chest compressions (press one to one-half inches into chest) and less force in when rescue breathing (enough to see the chest rise).
