|
Technique preferred for giving breaths to infants |
Mouth-to-mouth-and-nose Pt. 7, pg. 63 |
|
|
Mouth-to-mouth-and-nose technique for infants |
1. Maintain HTCL 2. Place mouth over infant's mouth and nose and create airtight seal 3. Blow into infant's nose and mouth, just enough to make the chest rise with each breath 4. If chest does not rise, repeat HTCL to reopen airway and try to give another breath that makes chest rise. May be necessary to move infant's head through various positions. Pt. 7, pg. 64 |

|
Mouth-to-mouth technique for infants |
1. Maintain HTCL 2. Pinch victim's nose tightly with thumb and forefinger 3. Make mouth-to-mouth seal 4. Deliver each mouth-to-mouth breath, making sure chest rises with each breath 5. If chest does not rise, repeat HTCL to reopen airway. May be necessary to move infant's head through various positions. Pt. 7, pg. 64 |
