Infant Bag Valve Mask Training Summary:
When using a bag valve mask on an infant, both adult and infant sized face masks can be used. With an adult size, the mask must be flipped around so that the smaller, thinner part of the mask is on the infant's chin and the wider portion is on the forehead. Then use the C-E technique to draw the baby's face into the mask. An infant sized mask is preferable, the mask is sized to fit the correct way over the infant's mouth and nose. Use the C-E technique to draw the infant's face into the mask. Ventilate until you see the chest rise and meet a bit of resistance. Do not overinflate the baby's lungs. Provide one breath every 3 seconds.
