In this video, we will discuss the steps needed for giving mouth-to-mask ventilation to a child or infant.

"CHILD/INFANT MOUTH-TO-MASK VENTILATION
In one-rescuer CPR, breaths should be supplied using a pediatric pocket mask, if available.


1. Deliver 30 (or 15 if there are two providers) high-quality chest compressions while counting out loud.
2. Seal the mask against the child’s face by placing four fingers of one hand across the top of the mask and the thumb of the other hand along the bottom edge of the mask (Figure 48).


3. Using the fingers of your hand on the bottom of the mask, open the airway using the head-tilt/chin-lift maneuver. (Don’t do this if you suspect the child may have a neck injury).


4. Press firmly around the edges of the mask and ventilate by delivering a breath over one
second as you watch the child’s chest rise.


5. Practice using the pocket mask; it is essential to form a tight seal in delivering effective
breaths."
