When giving rescue breaths to a child how many breaths should be given?

Answer 1

When giving rescue breaths to a child, you should give 1 breath about every 3 seconds.

For CPR, the ratio is 30:2 which means for every 30 chest compressions you will give 2 rescue breaths (ventilations).

Answer 2

When giving rescue breaths to a child you do not need to tilt the head as far back as with an adult.

When using a face shield type breathing barrier, make a complete seal around their mouth with yours, pinch the nose and blow for about one second. Each breath should make the chest clearly rise.

A good general rule is that once you see the chest clearly rise, stop blowing. Pushing excess air into a persons body can cause complications such as air going into the stomach and causing stomach distention.

Answer 3

1. Shout and gently tap the child on the shoulder. If there is no response and not breathing or not breathing normally, position the infant on his or her back and begin CPR.

2. Give 30 gentle chest compressions at the rate of at least 100 per minute. Use two or three fingers in the center of the chest just below the nipples. Press down approximately one-third the depth of the chest or about 1 and a half inches.

3. Open the airway using a head tilt lifting of chin. Do not tilt the head too far back

4. If the baby is not breathing or not breathing normally, cover the baby's mouth and nose with your mouth and give 2 gentle breaths. Each breath should be 1 second long. You should see the baby's chest rise with each breath.
