AB  - •  Chest  compressions  are  started  once  signs  of  circulatory  arrest  are  identified.•  For  the  layperson,  these  include  absence  of  breathing,  coughing,  and  movement.•  In  addition,  for  the  healthcare  worker,  lack  of  an  identifiable  pulse  is  a  sign  of  circulatory  arrest.•  Chest  compressions  are  started  in  infants  and  children  if  their  heart  rate  is  less  than  60  beats  per  minute  with  signs  of  poor  perfusion;  the  main  mechanism  for  increasing  cardiac  output  is  by  increasing  heart  rate.•  The  combination  of  bradycardia  and  poor  perfusion  is  a  sign  of  imminent  cardiac  arrest.
