Infant CPR with a Pocket Mask

Individuals enrolled in emergency first aid and CPR level “C” will learn to use protective equipment when doing CPR on an infant victim. Students will learn to use an adult-sized pocket mask on an infant. Here are some basic tips on using the mask on an infant victim.

  • When using an adult pocket mask on an infant rotate it 180 degrees to create a better seal over the infant’s face. An effective seal is created when the pocket mask covers the entire face.
  • Ensure that the infant’s airway is open and in the “sniffing” position when ventilating.
  • When providing ventilation, limit the breaths so that you do not continue ventilation after you see the infant’s chest rise.
