If you are alone and have identified a child who is unresponsive, the next step in CPR would be to follow these steps:
1. **Call 911**: The first step is to call for emergency medical help. This ensures that professional assistance is on the way to provide advanced care as soon as possible.
2. **Retrieve an AED if available**: If there is an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) nearby, bring it to the child's location. AEDs can help analyze the heart rhythm and provide a shock if needed.
After calling 911 and retrieving an AED if available, you should then proceed with CPR steps, which typically include starting chest compressions. It is essential to initiate these steps promptly to improve the child's chances of survival. Remember to follow the instructions provided by the emergency dispatcher and the AED if you are unsure about what to do.
