Question
which is the preferred technique for giving rescue breaths to an infant?
mouth - to - mouth
mouth - to - mouth - and - nose
mouth - to - nose
any method is acceptable
When giving rescue breaths to an infant, the mouth - to - mouth - and - nose technique is preferred. This is because infants have small airways and covering both the mouth and nose allows for more effective delivery of air into the lungs. Mouth - to - mouth may not be as effective as it might not create a proper seal, and mouth - to - nose is more commonly used for adults when mouth - to - mouth is not feasible (e.g., if the mouth is injured). Saying any method is acceptable is incorrect as the mouth - to - mouth - and - nose is the recommended approach.
