Copy of Rescue breaths for an infant (child under 1 year)

Head and Chin Position:

• Ensure the infant’s head is in a neutral position (not too tilted back or forward) and perform a chin lift to open the airway.

Mouth-to-Mouth and Nose Seal:

• Take a normal breath, then place your lips over both the infant’s mouth and nose, forming a good seal.

Delivering Rescue Breaths:

• Blow steadily over 1 second, making sure the chest rises visibly.
• After each breath, remove your mouth from the infant’s mouth and observe the chest fall as the air exits.

Repeat the Sequence:

• Repeat this process 5 times (1 breath every 3 seconds) before continuing with chest compressions.
