  1. Yes, compressions with breaths ✔
  2. No, compressions only
  3. Only after an AED shock

Why: Breathing problems often cause pediatric cardiac arrest, so breaths matter. Call 911, begin CPR, and use an AED when available.

Huh, didn't know that: Infants often have healthy hearts, but breathing trouble can lead to cardiac arrest.
