Question

which action can rescuers perform a potentially reduce the risk of gastric inflation?
delivering each breath over 1 second
giving rapid, shallow breaths
using a bag - mask device for delivering ventilation
using the mouth - to - mouth breathing technique

Explanation:

• Delivering each breath over 1 second helps ensure proper ventilation without excessive force that could lead to gastric inflation.
• Rapid, shallow breaths may not provide adequate ventilation and don't directly address reducing gastric inflation risk.
• Using a bag - mask device or mouth - to - mouth technique alone doesn't specifically target reducing the risk of gastric inflation as effectively as the proper breath - delivery time.

Answer:

Delivering each breath over 1 second
