question
Mouth-to-Mouth Breaths: adults, children, and infants
answer
-mouth-to-mouth breathing is a quick and effective way to provide oxygen to a victim when a Barrier mask is not available. -each Breath You Take contains 21% oxygen. When you provide a rescue breath, the air you breathe into a victim contains about 17% oxygen. 1. Hold the victim's airway open with a head tilt-chin lift. pinch the nose close with your thumb and index finger. 2. Take a regular breath and sugar lips around the victim's mouth creating an airtight seal. give one breath and blow for one second. Watch for the chest to rise as you give each breath. 3. Give a second breath (blowing for about 1 seconds) while watching for chest rise.

relief of choking: unresponsive infant
answer
if the infant becomes unresponsive: -shout for help and send someone to activate the emergency response system -place the infant on a hard, flat surface -begin CPR with 1 expectation: each time you open the airway to give breaths, look for the obstructing object -if you see an object that can be easily removed, carefully remove it with your fingers. do not do a bling finger swap - if you are alone, after 2 minutes or 5 cycles of CPR, activate the emergency response system.
