3n: Child/Infant Bag-Valve-Mask Ventilation in Two-Rescuer CPR (2024)

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

If two people are present and a bag-valve-mask device (BVM) is available, the second rescuer is positioned at the victim’s head while the other rescuer performs high-quality chest compressions.

1. Deliver 15 high-quality chest compressions while counting out loud.

2. The second rescuer holds the BVM with one hand using the thumb and index finger in the shape of a “C” on one side of the mask to form a seal between the mask and the face (Figure 49), while the other fingers open the airway by lifting the child’s lower jaw.

3. The first rescuer squeezes the bag giving two breaths over one second each. Watch for chest rise.

4. Practice using the BVM; it is essential to form a tight seal in delivering effective breaths.
