Session 3 of this course covered D.R.A.B.C.D break it down:
D=Danger
R=Response
A=Airways
B=Breathing
C=Circulation
D= Defibrillation
All of the above create a link in the chain of survival for a child or baby who becomes a casualty and stops breathing. Your job as a first aider is to have the understanding to link the chain of survival.

Ambulance
ON YOUR OWN?
if it takes you 3-5 minutes
to get the AED yourself
forget about it.
Keep CPR going and don't stop. Do not let the child's brain deprive of oxygen!
TIME LINE
2 Minutes -10 Minutes
Continue CPR until a ambulance has arrived, even when the AED has not been used or has failed to work.
The 10 minute rule is connected very closely with the chain of survival, with every minute that passes the casualty loses 10% of the chance of full recovery. Take away one of the links i.e. CPR and the casualty will rapidly deteriorate and die.
The Chain of survival is slightly different for a Child/Baby, compared to an adult it is important that this is understood. The 10 minute rule must be considered and you must buy time.
