3g: Adult Mouth to Mask Ventilation (2024)

This video discusses the use of a mask to deliver breaths in one-rescuer CPR. This process is broken down one step at a time. Practice using the bag is highly recommended to build more confidence.

Breaths should be supplied using a pocket mask if it’s available.

First, give 30 high-quality chest compressions.

Next, seal the mask against the individual’s face by placing four fingers of one hand across the top of the mask and place the thumb of the other hand along the bottom edge of the mask.

Using the fingers of your hand on the bottom of the mask, open the airway using the head-tilt/chin-lift maneuver. If a cervical injury is suspected, consider alternative methods.
Press firmly around the edges of the mask and ventilate by delivering a breath for over one second as you watch the individual’s chest rise.

If there is disinterest in providing ventilation (because of an airborne illness suspicion), hands-only CPR would be an equivalent option.

This concludes our lesson on Adult Mouth-to-Mask Ventilation. Next, we will review Adult Bag-Mask Ventilation.
