Copy of Rescue breaths for child over 1 year
Head and Airway Positioning:
- Pinch the soft part of the nose using the index finger and thumb of the hand placed on the forehead.
- Open the mouth slightly while maintaining the chin lift by gently tilting the head backwards.
Mouth-to-Mouth Seal:
- Take a normal breath and place your lips fully over the child’s mouth, ensuring a good seal.
Delivering Rescue Breaths:
- Blow steadily over 1 second, ensuring the chest rises visibly.
- Move your mouth away and watch for the chest to fall as air exits.
Repeat the Sequence:
- Give 5 initial rescue breaths (one breath every 3-5 seconds) before starting compressions.
