Practice: Infant Rescue Breathing
My scene is safe, my gloves are on. My rescue mask is available with a one way valve. Baby, baby, are you all right? Are you okay? You, go call 911 and come back. Or activate emergency services, or call a code. I check for normal breathing. I check for a brachial pulse. The pulse is good but the baby is not breathing. I am going to deliver rescue breaths at one breath every two to three seconds. Two minutes. After two minutes of rescue breathing, I reassess for a pulse. If the pulse is absent and there is no breathing, I start CPR. Pulse is still present but no breathing, I'm going to continue rescue breathing until help arrives, the baby responds or an AED responds.
Learn how to perform rescue breathing on an unconscious infant who is not breathing by watching the procedure performed on a mannequin.
