RESUSCITATION – SIGNS OF OBSTRUCTED AIRWAYS

For both infants and children, if you have difficulty achieving an effective breath, the airway may be obstructed.

Open their mouth and remove any visible obstruction. Do not perform a blind finger sweep
Ensure that there is adequate head tilt and chin lift but also that the neck is not over extended
Make up to 5 attempts to achieve effective breaths and move on to chest compressions
