8 years is similar to that used for adults. There are however some differences, which take into account the lower lung capacity of children and their rate of breathing faster. Also, remember that chest compressions should be less deep than is necessary in adults.
It always starts with 5 breaths before proceeding to the heart massage. It is recommended that a ratio of 15:2 between compressions and breaths, 30:2 if you are alone with the difficulty of changing position compression-ventilation. Depending on the corpulence of the child, you will be able to perform compressions with both limbs, one limb only, or even just two fingers (babies). Finally
should be noted that, since children in the normal heart rate is higher than in adults, in the presence of a child exhibiting circulatory activity with heart rate less than 60 puls. / min must behave as in the case of cardiac arrest. Practicing in
BLS
Any operation for educational purposes must be undertaken on the dummy, since the BLS maneuvers are extremely invasive and can not be made unless absolutely necessary. It is not uncommon for a BLS maneuver causing the fracture of one or more ribs. For this reason you are using a teaching tool that mimics the human body and is sometimes equipped with an array of sensors to help evaluate and revise the maneuvers performed by the rescuer.
Specifically note that the dummy for these more common situations is a Resusci-Anne, which represents the body of a woman of medium build (the choice of sex is due to the fact that the presence of the breasts slightly complicates the operation of compression); generally, however, all dummies have a large internal piston that mimics the average compressive strength of a human chest, an air channel that connects the mouth to the chest, so that a proper face inflation raise the level of the chest, neck and jaw articulated to simulate the hyperextension, a blower tube that allows the examiner to simulate the presence of carotid pulse. There
online interactive simulators to practice the BLS: BLS is a ontheroad 2.09, based on the guidelines IRC 2005.
....... Myth and reality
Film and television have often presented cardiopulmonary resuscitation or one of the following links in the chain of emergency as something of a miracle, maybe able to revive a patient suffered a heart attack. The reality is very different, both for the person affected by illness, both for the rescuers. The purpose of maneuver is to ensure a minimum of oxygen to vital organs, preventing damage from cerebral anoxia (lack of oxygen to brain cells). In the rare cases in which the vital functions resume during the maneuver, often was not in the presence of a real cardiac arrest.
The training of the rescuer is equally important, both to prevent feelings of guilt because in case of failure of the operation, is to be prepared for different eventualities that usually occur in such circumstances and are not reproduced during an exercise, such as vomiting , bleeding, failure of one or more ribs of the rib cage, nervous tension, overcrowding and the presence of onlookers.

The "chain of survival" is composed of 5 rings of the first of which highlights the importance of training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation techniques and the use of AEDs. The next three rings show the necessary actions to carry out an effective emergency pending the arrival of the rescue professional who will take over management of the 5th ring.
To facilitate the implementation of the storage sequences of evaluation and treatment of people suffering from cardio-respiratory arrest, using the letters of the alphabet: A
