                                Absence Of Breathing, Airway Obstruction, Shock"


    1.) Absence Of Breathing.   
                                                                                                                                                                 Because breathing emergencies are prevalent in many life threatening conditions, you or someone with whom you work should be trained in CPR before caring for small children. You may be called upon to clear the child's airway. administer the resuscitation procedures you will learn, and take other steps while awaiting skilled medical assistance. As stated elsewhere in this report, even though you will receive a report on CPR later in this program, You should find a local facility where you can be trained to administer CPR and to apply hands on first aid techniques.


2.) Airway Obstruction.

A child may experience airway obstruction for any of several reasons. The most common cause of airway obstruction results from foreign objects or food caught in the child's throat. Respiratory infections may also cause obstruction in a child's airway. Different steps must be taken depending on the removal of an object and the consciousness of the child. Read the more detailed discussion of this subject in the CPR report you will receive later. For now, be aware of the following. The steps you take will differ, depending upon factors such as the age of the child, whether the child is conscious, and the difficulty you have in trying to remove the object. A combination of trusts to the chest and sharp blows to the back may be required, along with performing CPR.

3.) A child may experience shock after certain injuries, including burns, poisoning, heat exhaustion, bleeding and more. You should always be prepared for shock. Be alert to notice these early indicators:

          1.) Pale, Cool, or clammy skin.
           2.) Weakness
           3.)  Confusion and anxiety
            4.) Rapid, Shallow breathing
            5.) Increased perspiration.
