There are important differences: body size, hand position, compression technique and how you deliver breaths, but the basic priorities are the same – open the airway, check breathing, start compressions and add rescue breaths if you are trained. A good paediatric course will give you repeated practice on both infant and child manikins so you can adapt quickly in real life.
