Heart & Stroke’s new CPR guidelines highlight why “children are not just small adults—their physiology and causes of cardiac arrest differ significantly,” says Dr. Farhan Bhanji, Professor of Paediatrics at McGill University. For children and infants, rescue breaths during CPR are crucial—especially in cases like choking or drowning.
With 60,000 cardiac arrests outside hospitals annually in Canada, quick action is vital. For adults, chest compressions and AED use save lives; for kids, adding breaths can make all the difference.
