2d: Adult Bag Mask Ventilation (2024)

This lesson discusses Adult Bag-to-Mask Ventilation, which is the use of a mask to deliver breaths in one-rescuer CPR. The appropriate use is detailed step-by-step. These guidelines help to ensure CPR is administered properly in two-rescuer situations requiring the use of a bag to mask ventilation.

"Begin by delivering 30 high-quality chest compressions counting them out loud.

The second rescuer holds the mask with one hand using the thumb and index finger in the shape of a C on one side of the mask. This forms a seal between the mask and the individual’s face.

Using the other hand, the second rescuer opens the airway by lifting the jaw.

The second rescuer gives two breaths for one second each."
