Explanation:

When a child has no pulse after CPR, an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) is crucial as it can analyze the heart rhythm and deliver a shock if needed. Waiting for advanced life support may delay treatment. Rescue breaths only or just compressions are insufficient without addressing a potential shockable rhythm.

Answer:

Get and use an AED
