The following correction applies to the Paediatric Basic Life Support chapter of the Guidelines.

Page 71.   Infant and child BLS sequence.
The third bullet point should read:

  Compress the chest by approximately one-third of its depth.
     Use two fingers for an infant under 1 year; use one or two hands
     for a child over 1 year as needed to achieve an adequate depth
     of compression.
