o If the respiration problem continues, repeat the individual steps 1–3 times and call – or have somebody
call – your local emergency telephone number 999 or 112.
3. Restore breathing
Listen and look to check whether the baby is breathing (Fig. 5).
o
o If the baby does not breathe, start rescue breathing immediately;
simultaneously call – or have somebody call – your local emergency
telephone number 999 or 112.
Place one hand on the baby's forehead and keep her head
o
tilted a little. Lift her chin with your other hand and seal your
mouth around the baby's mouth and nose (Fig. 6).
Initiate rescue breathing with 2–5 breaths so that at least
o
2 breaths are effi cient enough.
o Check the effi ciency of breaths by watching the bay's chest –
the chest should rise visibly upon breathing in and fall upon
breathing out.
Watch the volume of the inhaled air. It must be neither too small
o
(the chest does not rise or fall), nor too big. Inappropriate air
volume would cause damage to the baby's lungs and airwa-
ys and its overall condition would get even worse. The baby's
chest should rise and fall approximately as if the baby was
breathing on its own. Never give breaths if you feel obvious
resistance!
o Give 30 breaths in 1 minute to a newborn (i.e. 1 breath in
2 seconds), and 20 breaths in 1 minute to an infant (i.e. 1 bre-
ath in 3 seconds).
4. Check blood circulation
o If the baby does not show any signs of proper blood circulation
(i.e. she is unable to move, cough or breathe), start cardiac ma-
ssage (chest compressions) immediately.
o Put the baby on her back on a fi rm surface.
o Place your index fi nger and middle fi nger on the lower third of the
chest bone – about 1.5 cm (1-fi nger-width) under the imaginary
line between her nipples (Fig. 7). Alternatively, you can hold the
baby's torso fi rmly in your hands while pressing her chest bone
with your thumbs being crossed (Fig. 8) or with two fi ngers.
o Compress the baby's chest by about 2–3 cm (approx. by 1/3 of
her torso diameter).
o Frequency of compressions: 120/min in newborns and 100/min
in infants.
o Resuscitate newborns at a ratio of 1 breath to 3 chest compressions
and infants at a ratio of 2 breaths to 30 chest compressions provided
there is only one fi rst-aider. If there are two fi rst-aiders, they give
2 breaths per 15 chest compressions.
o Take a short break after each sequence of compressions to catch
your breath.
