Infant CPR - BREATHING
-
"B" is for BREATHING — Cover Mouth and Nose
Cover the infant's mouth and nose with your mouth creating a complete, airtight seal, and give a quick, gentle puff of air from your cheeks.
-
Observe the Chest and Allow Exhalation
Let the victim exhale on his own — watch his chest and listen and feel for breathing. If he does not breathe on his own, again place your mouth over his mouth and nose and give another small puff.
-
Check Circulation if Unresponsive
If the infant remains unresponsive (no crying or moving), immediately check his circulation .
An infant's lungs are very small and fragile. Never blow with the full capacity of your lungs — use only the gentle volume of air held inside your cheeks (small puffs) to make the baby's chest gently rise.
