To give rescue breaths to an infant without a barrier device, first ensure the infant is on a flat, firm surface and assess for responsiveness. If the infant is unresponsive and not breathing, gently tilt their head back slightly to open the airway, and cover their mouth and nose with your mouth. Deliver two gentle breaths, each lasting about one second, watching for the chest to rise. Be careful not to provide too much air, as infants' lungs are small and can be easily overinflated.
Each breath should last 1 second, with or without the use of a breathing barrier. This is the same amount of time for a child and adult.
1 rescuer CPR for infant is 30 compressions to 1 breath.
Ratio of compressions to breaths for a toddler is 30 compressions to 2 breaths.
Perform Adult CPR by 30 chest compressions to 2 breaths.
As you give the breaths, look down at the infant's chest and you should see it rise 1/2 to 1 inches.
