Take a situation for instance where your child has gotten involved in an emergency on a playground so the moment you come across such a situation the first thing that you must be doing is determining whether your child's heart is beating or not. Only if you realize that the heart has stopped beating go for the PALS techniques where firstly you should assess the responsiveness of the child by tapping him or calling out to him, then call for the emergency medical services by dialing 911, after that take your child to a safe place and lay him supine on a flat surface, check for your child's breathing after opening his or her airway, if you feel that your child is breathless immediately go for artificial respiration which you can do by providing mouth to mouth breathings to your child and continue with this till you have provided 5 breaths to your child. Then check your child's pulse, if there is pulse carry on with the artificial respiration and if there is no pulse start off with the chest compressions and provide with the compressions and breathings in the ratio of 5:1. Continue with the PALS process until the arrival of emergency medical services. The PALS techniques has specially been designed for infants and children between the ages of 1 and 8 years.
