An infant injured in a crash is unresponsive and not breathing normally. When giving rescue breaths with guidance from 112, if you can seal both their mouth and nose at once, which technique is used?

Correct answer

Mouth-to-mouth-and-nose technique

Mouth-to-mouth-and-nose: seal both with your mouth and blow gently for about one second, enough to make the chest rise, then let it fall. Avoid excessive ventilation. Unresponsiveness alone does not indicate rescue breathing: normal breathing must be assessed. Get help from 112 and follow instructions for the full resuscitation sequence, including chest compressions where required; rescue breaths alone do not replace necessary CPR.
