It is our role as parents to protect our child and act responsibly. However, accidents happen quickly in the age group 0-4. Common pediatric accidents generally include choking, drowning, and falling.

As a result, choking is one of the important modes of death in young children who are tragically dying from unintentional injuries. Understandably, learning Infant CPR is critical.
