The At Home Pediatric Emergency Guide

When your child is choking, having a febrile seizure, or in anaphylactic shock, you don't have time to search the internet. This guide gives you the exact, current steps — aligned with the 2025 AHA/AAP pediatric resuscitation update — for the emergencies every parent fears most: choking (infant and child), CPR, severe allergic reactions, burns, poisoning, head injuries, and high fevers. Inside: a Red/Yellow/Green triage system to know when to call emergency services versus monitor at home, step-by-step choking and CPR sequences for both infants and children, a poison and button-battery action plan, printable emergency contact logs and a fridge cheat sheet, and scenario drills to practice before you ever need them. This is not a substitute for hands-on CPR certification or your pediatrician — it's the calm, structured reference that helps you act correctly in the first five minutes, before help arrives.
