FAQ: Quick CPR for Children After Cardiac Arrest - Critical Time Window and Survival Impact
TL;DR
Learning CPR gives you a critical advantage by nearly doubling a child's survival chances when administered within the crucial five-minute window after cardiac arrest.
CPR for children involves cycles of 30 chest compressions at 100-120 per minute followed by two breaths, with optimal effectiveness within five minutes of cardiac arrest.
Widespread CPR training creates a safer world where more children survive cardiac emergencies and communities become networks of prepared, life-saving responders.
Children have half the CPR time window of adults, with survival odds dropping dramatically after just five minutes following cardiac arrest.

The research found that initiating CPR within the first five minutes after cardiac arrest can nearly double the chances of survival for children.
The time window to initiate successful CPR in children may be half that of the window for adults - 5 minutes for children versus 10 minutes for adults.
The time window is even more critical in children than adults, and lay rescuers may hesitate due to concerns about hurting the child, making immediate action imperative.
CPR for children consists of cycles of 30 chest compressions at 100-120 compressions per minute, followed by two breaths.
Researchers emphasize teaching and encouraging more people including parents, family members, teachers, coaches and community members to learn CPR and feel confident using it immediately.
The preliminary study reviewed data for more than 10,000 children from a large U.S. database that tracks out-of-hospital cardiac arrests.
This study is a research abstract presented at the American Heart Association's scientific meeting and is considered preliminary until published as a full manuscript in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
The research will be presented at the American Heart Association's Resuscitation Science Symposium 2025, held November 8-9 in New Orleans.
Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart's electrical system abruptly malfunctions and stops pumping blood to the rest of the body, resulting in loss of blood to the brain, lungs and other vital organs.
People should understand that immediate CPR within five minutes is critical for children's survival after cardiac arrest, and more community members need CPR training to respond confidently in emergencies.
