8.4 Artificial Respiration - Child and Infant

Training Objective:

The crew member will be able to define/demonstrate artificial respiration on a child or infant required to effectively handle an in-flight emergency situation.

Scope:

Mouth-to-Mouth Artificial Respiration on a Child
Mouth-to-Mouth-and-Nose Artificial Respiration on an Infant

8.4A Mouth-to-Mouth Artificial Respiration on a Child

8.4A.2 State the differences in the rate and force of ventilations between an adult and a child.

8.4B Mouth-to-Mouth-and-Nose Artificial Respiration on an Infant

8.4B.1 Define the term "infant" as it applies to first aid and CPR, if included in training program.

8.4B.2 State when and where the brachial pulse is taken and rechecked during mouth-to-mouth-and-nose artificial respiration.
