American Red Cross Lifeguard Training (tape 1)

[Music] all right preventive lifeguarding is probably one of the most important things that we do is as guards you can avoid most of this a 5-minute life throwing a good job it's much easier teamwork is very important just because every single thing that you do there is gonna be a part of team if you stopped looking for a second that would be the second that even under and I didn't see them best thing I could say is when you actually have a feeling yes I did my job you know I see someone's dying or drowning that is the best reward that I've received was like my very first save and not that it was even anything big but I did it all you need is that step one time you realize what do all my training was worth it it's a great job it's a lot of responsibility it's more experienced than you think I consider it as a lifeguard sometimes you have to make really important decisions sometimes those decisions are a matter of life and death most of the time the decisions you make have nothing connected with emergencies they have more to do with how you interact with the other members of your team and and how you deal with the patron any problems no problems it's pretty common to run into people who break the rule some of them might not be aware of them others might not understand them and then there are those who just like to cause trouble you have to decide how you're going to handle them all [Music] when I was in lifeguard training I learned about a way to make decisions it's called the fine model his would find stands for F figure out the problem I identify possible solutions in name the pros and cons for each solution and D decide which solution is best why don't we look at how the fine model might work in a real life situation this is Jess she's a good guard always aware of what's going on around him and once in a while she sees a potential problem sir please take the child off your shoulders oh that's okay she loves it up there this is a situation where the lifeguard has to figure out the problem since jess is responsible for the safety of everyone using the facility a patron who ignores her request to stop breaking a rule is definitely a problem now she has to decide how she's going to react so she needs to identify the possible solutions here are a few solutions just considered I thought to myself what are my options I could one ignore the guy and hope he eventually puts the kid down to show the guy who's boss yell at him and throw him out of the pool or three I could warn the guy again and this time politely but firmly explain why I shouldn't carry the kid on his shoulders Jess identified three solutions to the problem the next step is to name the pros and cons of each possible solution a good guard has to think about what the consequences of each solution might be solution number one ignore the guy and hope he eventually put the kid down Pro if I ignore him I don't have to confront him and besides he'll stop soon eventually Khanh if I ignore him then he might fall or accidentally drop the child Lucia number to show the guy whose boss yelled him and throw him out of the pool you sir I Pro if I yell at him and throw him out of the pool then I removed the unsafe situation and people won't get hurt Kahn if I lose my temper he might get mad and that'll only make things worse an unhappy customer talk with the boss she loves it up there funnily solution number three warned the guy again and this time politely yet firmly explain why shouldn't carry the child on his shoulders excuse me sir but we don't allow anyone to carry another person on their shoulders it's just too easy for someone to get hurt Kahn he might still ignore me in which case I call the supervisor for help so we've got three possible solutions all with pros and cons by identifying the problem and naming the pros and cons you've got all the information you need to decide which solution is best which solution is best let's see what Jess decided to do excuse me sir but we don't allow anyone to carry another person on their shoulders it's just too easy for someone to get hurt the fine model can help you make all kinds of decisions and it won't be long before it becomes second nature if you run into a problem and can't decide which solution is best ask the head lifeguard or the facility manager they've got a lot of experience in dealing with patrons and problems with fine you'll be able to take any situation figure out the problem identify possible solutions name the pros and cons and decide which solution is best [Music] [Music] the rescue tube is a lifeguards most important piece of rescue equipment the rescue tube has enough flotation to easily support the weight of the lifeguard and multiple victims rescue tubes come in a variety of sizes and styles they have attached shoulder straps and toe lines that vary in length always wear the rescue tube properly shoulder strap in place looped over your head and one shoulder when you are seated in a lifeguard chair lay the tube across your thighs and hold the excess line in one hand this will prevent the line from getting caught on the chair or other objects when you climb down from an elevated station or when entering the water from an elevated station in an emergency when conducting surveillance standing hold the tube horizontally across your stomach and hold the exercise whenever you are on duty have your rescue tubing plants are ready to go always take it with you when you enter the water the strike jump entry is appropriate only in water today that leaves five feet deep and only from a height of three feet or less above the water squeeze the rescue tube high against your chest and hold the excess line in one hand lean slightly forward and leap into the water with one leg forward and the other back as you enter the water squeeze your legs together in a kick to provide upward thrust the buoyancy of the rescue tube along with this kick will bring you to the surface [Music] the compact jump can be used to enter the water from a height greater than three feet from the surface such as from a lifeguard stand it can also be used to enter shallow water from the deck when entering from a height the water must be at least 5 feet deep squeeze the rescue tube against your chest and hold the excess line in one hand jump out and away from the chair and children keep your knees bent and your feet together and plan to absorb the shock in case you strike the bottom the buoyancy of the rescue tube will help bring you back to the surface quickly [Music] after entering the water you can approach a nearby victim using a modified breaststroke or the modified crawl in either approach keep the rescue tube under your armpits and your head up as you swim toward the victim if the rescue tube slips out from under your arms you can let the tube trail behind you as you near the victim slow your approach bring the tube forward position it high against your chest and under your armpits and continue the rescue depending on the situation and the victims condition you may use different rescue techniques once you reach the victim you'll learn more about these skills in another lesson [Music] so Bayless is really an important job of the lightbulb preventative lifeguarding that's what we practice here that's what we have to practice here the number one job of a lifeguard more or less is safety because you don't want to have to make the rescues we're not here just to make the recipes we're here to have a safe facility it's very important to always keep your eyes open and always be alert you have to stay focused on the pool as a lifeguard you are responsible for protecting the lives of the people of your facility preventing injuries is your job watching for potentially dangerous situations and knowing how to recognize distressed swimmers and drowning victims are critical skills for a lifeguard recognizing a victim is extremely important because a distressed situation can become a drowning situation in a matter of seconds there's always a brief moment where you're asking yourself are they in trouble or are they playing and once you feel that they're in trouble then then obviously you have to make a move and you blow your whistles a victim may struggle for as little as twenty seconds before submerging most people who drown and guarded facilities drowned because no one notices that they are in trouble not even the people who are right next to them in guarding aquatic facilities three factors can lead to drown a swimmer who gets into trouble and they drown if the lifeguard surveillance is hindered by anyone or combination of these three factors the first is failure of the lifeguard to recognize behaviors that indicate a person is drowning second the intrusion of other duties that take a lifeguards attention away from the responsibility of patron surveillance and third any distraction however brief vert the lifeguards attention away from constant surveillance remember these three factors recognition intrusion distraction these are called the rid factor our ID are three factors than they cause a lifeguard to miss a swimmer in trouble in the water which can lead to drowning when other duties divert your attention away from patron surveillance make certain that another guard is covering your area [Music] as a lifeguard you must be able to recognize the difference between the behaviors of swimmers distressed swimmers active drowning victims and passive drowning victims knowing how people behave when they are in trouble allows you to respond quickly often preventing a situation from getting worse swimmers have different levels of ability in the water but in general the body position is nearly horizontal and their arms and legs are moving in coordinated and effective manner swimmers also abreast control and can make progress through the water [Music] a distressed swimmer behaves differently exhaustion cramps or sudden illness are a few of the reasons that might cause a swimmer to become a distressed swimmer a distressed swimmer makes little or no forward progress in the water and might not be able to get to safety without help you can recognize distress swimmers by how they try to support themselves in the water some will float others will try to tread water a distressed swimmer usually has enough arm and leg control to keep his or her face out of the water and may either be able to wave and call for help the way I can recognize the stress swimmer is usually they're on top of the water they have been swimming laps for example they develop a cramp you know or they're too tired to make it to the side of pool and they call out for help generally because their heads usually above the water without help a distressed swimmer will become exhausted and anxious and eventually become an active drowning victim [Music] an active drowning victim they struggle at the surface for as little as 20 to 60 seconds before submerging once the victim goes underwater they may continue to struggle because this stage of drowning can be so short it's important that you know how to immediately recognize the behavior of an active drowning victim when a person begins to drown instinct takes over then the body reacts with automatic physical responses this reaction is similar in all active drowning victims these behaviors are called the instinctive drowning response first an active drowning victims instincts focus on one purpose leaving the head is back as the mouth sinks repeatedly below the surface during the struggle to keep the face out of the water the victim extends his arms out to the side and presses down for support to raise his head out of the water the victim is not in control of her own muscle movements and at this point is not able to wave or call for help her body is vertical in the water the legs will have little or no supporting kick an active drowning victim makes no forward progress in the water this struggle at the surface may last only a short time before the victim submerges and once underwater the victim may continue to struggle and soon lose consciousness and stop moving [Music] a victim who has stopped struggling or who slipped below the water without a struggle is called a passive drowning victim a passive victim may be floating facedown at or near the surface or may sink to the bottom to be safe someone who is floating facedown and motionless for about 30 seconds should be regarded as a passive drowning victim [Music] because you often have only a few seconds to recognize someone who needs help you must develop an effective method of scanning your area of responsibility scanning is more than just looking at the people in the water scanning is paying attention to the behavior of every patron so you can recognize any signs of distress or drowning I try to scan from went into my area to the other end of the area consistently truddy always keep my eyes or head moving as you scan note the activities of the people in your area look and listen for sounds that could indicate trouble we're still concerned about everybody else in the area but there's certain people you know to key in on just by how they're behaving in the water whether or not they're going underwater with the ease they're getting their face what they're getting their head what you may need to use different scanning techniques for different facilities and stations in elevated stations such as a lifeguard chair gives you the best view of patrons and on water but remember to scan areas you cannot easily see such as the water directly below your lifeguard stand try to keep this area clear of swimmers of all times in case you have to enter the water quickly to make a rescue if your station is on the deck or in the water your view of the entire swimming area is more limited and never turn your back to the water not a crowded facility you may be assigned to a walking patrol in this position you are adding to the coverage being provided by other guards this allows you to see individuals who might be obscured by crowds or in areas difficult to see from the guard stands no matter where you are stationed stay alert and avoid distractions in most facilities lifeguards will rotate from one station to another to relieve a lifeguard at an elevated station take a position next to the stand and begin scanning the other lifeguard comes down and once on the deck continue scanning to complete the rotation the relieving lifeguard climbs into the stand and resume scanning exchange any important information before the other guard leaves the area to relieve a lifeguard at a ground-level station stand at her side and begin scanning ask if there are patrons who need closer supervision any problems no problems ok I got it it's important to keep your eyes on the pool during your rotation does it anytime something can go wrong and someone can go under get hurt during rotation you need to communicate well with the guard that you're switching with in order to establish who has watch over the pool at least one guards to be watched an area at all otherwise no one's watching area and no one else is going to be [Music] [Music] when multiple guards are on duty swimming areas are divided into separate areas of responsibility called zones the size of the zone you are responsible for covering is different depending on the size of the facility a number of people in the area and the number of lifeguards available in this example the pool is divided into four zones guard number one is responsible for covering the area marked in red guard number two is responsible for covering the area in yellow guard number three covers the area shown in green and guard number four is responsible for covering the diving well shown here in blue notice that each of these zones overlaps other zones this double coverage helps ensure that no part of the pool is unguarded some swimming areas can pose many surveillance challenges while the pool itself is not very large its shape may create blind spots areas of the pool that cannot be seen easily from certain lifeguard stations and remember there are blind spots directly beneath an elevated station at the base of the chair if you are working alone you must provide total coverage this means that you are responsible for guarding everyone in the water as well as those on the deck [Music] play structures are common to many aquatic facilities they include slides rope swings sprays and fountains and floating toys if your facility has play structures be familiar with how they work and what hazards they may present you look for kids not coming back up after they go under or if they do come up if they can make the side at the lily pads you watch for if they fall off if they hit their head they're gonna be okay through be able to make side at the log you watch if they get ripped off so we're gonna hit their head in the brick on the hippo you watch if they fall under they're gonna make it back up control how the patrons use play structures in order to maintain adequate supervision of the area remember you must be in a position that allows you to see around and under play structures different facilities present different surveillance challenges take the time to learn about the characteristics that make your facility unique and work with your fellow lifeguards to be certain that no area is left unsupervised people think of lifeguards that think that people who run in the water and save people that's the last thing that you want to do you want to create a safe environment for them and prevent the drownings and injuries before they happen the more you promote safety the less rescues you have and the more of successful summer that you have to pool [Music] as a professional lifeguard you must be able to make decisions quickly an emergency action plan provides a step-by-step approach for responding to emergencies knowing your facility's emergency action plan or EAP prepares you for responding to and managing an emergency remember that you are never alone in a crisis you are a member of a safety team however you need to understand everyone's role on your team and everyone on your team needs to know and practice your facility's emergency action plan the emergency action plan starts when someone recognizes an emergency situation and responds recognition activates the ehh look again at the actions that activate the emergency action plan before you leave a station give a pre-arranged signal such as a whistle blast to notify other staff and patrons of the emergency your signal tells other lifeguards that you are responding to an emergency and that they are to assist and cover your area we have all three four no actually four on staff right now right for that day Melissa's gone in go help her out next the general water rescue procedures are activated as part of the emergency action plan these procedures vary from facility to facility the lifeguard enters the water and assesses the victim is this a distressed swimmer active drowning victim or passive drowning victim based on the assessment of the victim perform the appropriate rescue and bring the victim to safety reaching if the victim is unconscious remove him from the water immediately use a backboard with the assistance of another lifeguard or bystander ganha okay alright I'm rotating victim Oh once the victim is removed from the water provide emergency care you need to know first days and how to provide care in emergencies always follow basic precautions wear disposable gloves and use breathing barriers to prevent disease transmission next check for consciousness and assess the victims condition this is called the primary survey are you okay can you hear me to do a primary survey look for any life-threatening conditions such as unconsciousness no breathing no pulse or severe bleeding yes we have an emergency here we're at the Tucker Recreation Club and always get consent when providing first aid if the victim does not respond you have implied consent to continue he's got a pulse but he's not breathing one one thousand two one thousand three one thousand four one thousand okay i'll call 9-1-1 and they should be here soon miles call director and he'll be here soon too once emergency medical help arrive and take over notify the chain of command to one thousand three one thousand with a serious injury illness or death the head lifeguard or facility manager notifies the appropriate supervisor as soon as possible the supervisor contacts the victim's family um can you tell me your phone number six six two as soon as possible a designated safety team member interviews witnesses these interviews are conducted confidentially and in write and what did you say I was standing on the side of the pool and I was watching everyone swimming the one swimmer appeared to be throwing fire across the pool and then he just went limp we weren't sure if it was a joke or not and then we heard their life whistle the lifeguard who made the rescue fills out an incident report other safety team members may also assist in completing the report equipment used in the rescue is checked and damaged or missing items are replaced and reported if the facility was cleared during the incident all required equipment must be back in place before reopening in addition to equipment anything that may have contributed to the incident is corrected before reopening or as soon as possible I've reviewed the incident reports I spoke with the doctors at the hospital a facility staff meeting is the final step in the emergency action plan if the incident involved a serious emergency follow-up staff discussion provides the opportunity to share information and discuss problems I know this year you instituted that in-service training program you ran the EAP every single week and it worked like a charm today so congratulations to you I think was an excellent idea this helps provide a complete picture of what happened before during and after the emergency I scanned over to look at someone else that I thought might be in trouble and when I scan back I noticed that the victim was facedown [Music] in the event of an emergency on dry land involving someone becoming suddenly ill or injured follow rescue procedures as outlined in your facility's emergency action plan the EAP becomes activated when a lifeguard recognizes and responds to an emergency jack-jack are your right when approaching an emergency survey the scene to be sure it is safe a lifeguard must be prepared to provide first aid as needed it's Annie I know first hey can I help you I need some beer you will learn more about first aid in other lessons EMS is on its way here the skills you learn could save a life to review the steps of an emergency action plan our recognition of an emergency activate the emergency action plan activate general water rescue procedures if needed notify chain-of-command interview witnesses complete reports check equipment take corrective action and follow up with staff discussion [Music] [Music] using good surveillance techniques helps you prevent many aquatic emergencies but always be prepared to make a rescue at any moment after you recognize that someone needs help in the water activate your facility's emergency action plan then follow the general water rescue procedures when faced with an emergency involving a water risky first enter the water safely the type of entry you choose will depend on the depth of the water the height from which you enter in the design of your facility in some cases the lifeguard may not have to enter the water and may be able to reach the victim from the deck once you are in the water approach the victim keep the victim in sight at all times assess the victims condition as you approach as you get close always place the rescue tube between you and the victim when you are in position perform an appropriate rescue knowing whether the victim is distressed active or passive will help you choose the most appropriate rescue to use once you have a secure grasp move the victim to safety when you reach the side use a backboard to remove the victim from the water you will need another lifeguard or bystander to assist always follow basic precautions such as using disposable gloves and breathing barriers are you okay can you hear me he's now responding if someone called 911 once you remove the victim from the water you may need to provide emergency care you will learn more about first aid and CPR in other lessons to review when you recognize an emergency in the water activate the emergency action plan and follow the general water rescue procedures enter the water approach the victim perform the appropriate rescue move the victim to safety remove the victim from the water and provide emergency care if needed depending on the situation in the victims condition you may use different rescue techniques once you reach the victim to help a distressed swimmer who is close to the side of the pool use an extension assist from the deck remove and hold the rescue tubes or shoulder strap extend the rescue tube and encourage the victim to grab on the extension assist is used to reach a victim who is close to the deck it is good for a tire slip but it may not be good for a drowning victim because you may be struggling too hard to reach the tube once the victim has grasped the rescue tube lean back and slowly pull him to safety if the victim cannot reach or hold on to the tool you have to enter the world [Music] another simple technique for helping a distressed swimmer is called the swimming extension rescue approach the victim from the front extend the end of your rescue tube to the victim tell her to grab the tube for support once she's holding onto the tube move her to safety ask the victim to kick if she can [Music] a technique called the active drowning victim rear rescue can be used for either a distressed swimmer or an active drowning victim approach the victim from the wheel keeping your rescue tube between you and the victim reach under the victims armpits and grasp or shoulders lean back and pull the victim on to the rescue to use the rescue - to support the victim and keep her face out of the water calm and reassure the victim as you move towards safety [Music] the stressed or active drowning victims may grab on to each other as they try to stay at the surface if you were the only lifeguard responding to this situation use the multiple victim rescue approach one victim from the rear reach under his armpits and grasp his shoulders keeping the rescue tube between you and the victim lean back and pull the victims on to the rescue tube this will help bring their faces out of the water support the victims in this position call for help do not attempt to move the victims to safety without assistance from another lifeguard if no assistance is available encourage the victims to kick it toward the side of the pool [Music] another rescue technique is called the passive drowning hood and rear risk use the passive victim rear rescue that the victim is unconscious when you do not suspect a head neck or back injury you will learn more about head neck and back injuries in another lesson approach the victim from the rear keeping your rescue tube across your chest reach under the victims armpits and grasp his shoulders while keeping your head to one side roll the victim over so he is face-up on top of the rescue tube move the victim to safety in some cases a guard may need to swim with the victim for a longer distance it may be easier to leave the victim to safety using one arm to swim when the victim is in position on the tube reach one arm over the victims shoulder and grasp the rescue tube use your other arm to swim [Music] sometimes you need to perform a rescue below the surface in deep water a feet first surface dive helps you submerge quickly when you are over the victim let go of your rescue tube while vertical press downward with your hands and use a strong kick to raise your body up out of the water take a breath and let your body sink toward the bottom of the pool keep your legs straight and together with your toes pointed down when your downward momentum slows turn your palms outward and sweep your hands and arms upward [Music] the submerged victim rescue is used to rescue a victim below the surface beyond your reach they can be used for both active and passive submerged victims do a feet first surface dive and position yourself behind the victim reach under his arm and across his chest grasp the towline pull it down and place it in the hand that is holding the victim as you reach the surface place the rescue tube between your chest and the victims back reach under the victims armpits and grasp his shoulders move the victim to safety [Music] on rare occasions a distressed or active drowning victim they grab the rescue this is a dangerous situation it can happen if the rescue was faulty or if the rescue tubes slipped away while conducting the rescue always use your rescue tube for support but if you lose your rescue tube you can use the front or rear head hold escape to get away from the victim [Music] if the victim grabs you from the front do the front head hold escape take a deep breath turn your head to either side raise your shoulders and then submerge with the victim if the victim has not let go once underwater bring your hands up to the victims arms near or at the elbows push the victim vigorously up and away from you keeping your chin tucked your arms fully extended and your shoulders raised keep pushing until you are free once free swim out of the victims reach and surface then reposition your rescue tube and use a rear approach to complete the rescue [Music] [Music] if the victim grabs you from behind do a rear head hold escape take a deep breath turn your head to either side raise your shoulders and then submerge with the victim if the victim has not let go once underwater bring your hands up to the victims arms near or at the elbow push vigorously up and away from you while twisting your head and shoulder keep your chin tucked your arms fully extended and your shoulders raised keep pushing until you are free once free swim out of reach of the victim and surface then reposition your rescue tube and use a rear approach to complete the rest after moving a victim to safety you may need to remove the victim from the water depending on his condition the victim may be unconscious or unable to climb out of the water two lifeguards or a lifeguard and a bystander needed to remove a victim from the water safety a backboard is required and should be readily available generally an assisting lifeguard or bystander gets the backboard by the lifeguard in the water performs the rescue time permitting the assisting lifeguard prepares the backboard removing the straps and head immobilized to perform the removal from the water first bring the victim to the side of the pool rotate him to face the deck the assisting person on deck grabs the victims wrists crossing his arms to grab right to right and left to left then slightly pull the victim up keeping the head above the water in a wave in the pool edge the primary lifeguard removes the rescue tube and gets the backboard and guides it straight down into the water until the top is about the same level as the top of the victims head keep the victims head from falling forward the assisting lifeguard turns the victim onto the backboard each rescuer quickly grasps one of the victims wrists and the top handhold of the backboard they pull the backboard and victim together up and onto the deck lift with your legs and not with your back resting the bottom of the board against the edge of the pool step backward to slide the backboard and carefully lower the victim on the deck provide immediate follow-up care based on the victims condition using the skills you have seen here will help you perform effective rescues remember lies depend on your ability to act quickly and effectively [Music] [Music] he tipped over his face in and the lifejacket and floating unit were submerging him keeping him feet up face up and I remember after that was jumping in and coming up with the kid in my arms he could have died i lifeguard has to keep a level head and performing skills as best as possible and every time [Music] if I hadn't been there and I had known exactly what to do and I hadn't been trained as a lifeguard this man could have possibly died as a professional lifeguard giving first aid and CPR is an important part of your job just as you will make water rescues when patrons are in trouble you'll be expected to give first aid and CPR when patrons become injured or ill there's a lot of code you have to know first aid because that's your job to save people if they get in trouble and people expect that you know first aid you're the first line of response you're the first person that people are going to look for when there's a medical emergency just as you will be called upon to make split-second judgments in response to emergencies you will be required to make decisions regarding when and how to give appropriate care recognizing emergencies and knowing your facility's emergency action plan prepares you for managing emergency for a multi-victim when activating the EAP you and your co-workers react to an emergency situation that may call for first aid and CPR remember you are a part of a safety team a group of people who work together in an emergency even if you are the only lifeguard on duty it is critical to keep team working you may depend on and get support from people around you cut offs have someone call 9-1-1 isolating and you may depend on emergency medical assistance from outside in addition to first aid and CPR a professional lifeguard should be trained in automated external defibrillation automated external defibrillators or AEDs analyze the heart's rhythm and if necessary prompt a rescuer to deliver an electrical shock to the heart the timely use of an AED combined with CPR gives victims of cardiac arrest the best chance of survival oxygen administration is another important skill lifeguards need to know how to manage breathing emergencies using oxygen suctioning devices and air waves to learn more about IEDs and oxygen administration training contact your local Red Cross being prepared to do your job means knowing when and how to respond to all kinds of emergencies whether it is a drowning victim or an injured or ill person a lifeguard must be prepared to give first aid and CPR even minor injuries need to be taken care of in a situation such as cardiac arrest where the results could be fatal it's important to be able to assess the situation and take care of that need you are now shock delivered can I get some help as a lifeguard there will be times when you come into contact with blood or body odours although the risk of getting a disease while providing care is low you need to recognize situations and know how to protect yourself and others from disease transmission therefore it is important to use protective equipment such as disposable gloves and breathing barriers when providing care infection happens when pathogens such as germs or bacteria enter the body pathogens cause diseases like hepatitis and meningitis and can be transmitted from one person to another in many ways direct contact poses the greatest risk because infection can happen when someone touches or comes in contact with an infected person's blood or body fluids to prevent disease transmission follow basic precautions whenever possible avoid contact with blood and other body fluids always use protective equipment such as disposable gloves and breathing barriers always wash and scrub your hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after giving care protective equipment such as disposable gloves are designed to prevent contact with blood and other body fluids therefore it is important to use them correctly use latex vinyl or nitrile gloves and have these readily available in first aid stations first aid kits and fanny packs to remove soiled gloves pinch the first glove at the wrist be careful to touch only the gloves outside surface pull the glove toward your fingertips without completely removing it the glove is now partially inside-out next remove the second glove with your partially gloved hand pinch the exterior of the second glove at the wrist pull it toward your fingertips until it is inside out and then remove it completely next grasp both gloves with your free hand being careful to touch only the clean inner surface of the gloves discard soiled gloves in an appropriate container such as a biohazard bag wash hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after giving care wash and scrub your hands for at least 10 to 15 seconds washing hands frequently is the most basic precaution you can take particularly after contact with other people and it is important to always change gloves between contact with different people remember never reuse gloves or use gloves that are defective or torn never touch or handle any personal items when wearing soiled gloves other kinds of protective barriers are resuscitation masks and bag-valve-mask s-- these are used to protect against disease transmission when someone must breathe for a victim you will learn how to use breathing barriers in other lessons okay stay calm to prevent disease transmission avoid contact with blood and other body fluids use protective equipment and wash your hands with soap these are some of the most effective ways to safeguard yourself your fellow lifeguards and patrons against disease transmission [Music] is not breathing as a professional lifeguard there may be times we need to breathe for victims who cannot breathe for themselves to help prevent disease transmission during rescue breathing you should use a breathing barrier called a resuscitation mask or pocket mess [Music] although resuscitation masks may vary in size and shape they all have common features a pliable rim which helps provide a good seal around the victims nose and mouth a clear dome and a one-way valve some masks have oxygen inlets for use with supplemental oxygen smaller masks are available for children and infants he's not breathing to use a resuscitation mask first assemble the mask attach the one-way valve kneel behind the victim's head and place the rim between the lower lip and chin and lower the mask until it covers the mouth and nerves seal the mask and open the airway place your thumbs on each side of the mask slide your fingers into position behind the angles of the jaw apply downward pressure with your thumbs lift the jaw and tilt the head back to open the airway press firmly on the mask to ensure a complete seal then breathe for the victim take a breath before you give a breath he's out breathing there will be times when you may have to position yourself to the side of the victim to use a resuscitation mask in this position kneel next to the victim position the mask to cover the victims mouth and nose seal the mask and open the airway apply downward pressure lift the jaw and tilt the head back to open the airway breathe for the victim take a breath before you give a breath the one-way valve opens to let your breath pass through to the victim and then closes to prevent the victims air and body fluids from reaching you this reduces the risk of disease transmission you will learn more about rescue breathing in another lesson in review to use a resuscitation mask assemble the mask position the mask seal the mask and open the airway and breathe for the victim [Music] [Music] following your facility's emergency action planning can help save lives when emergencies occur once you have performed the general water rescue steps to safely remove a victim from the water perform a primary survey to help determine whether the victim has any life-threatening conditions before you begin survey the scene to be sure it is safe follow basic precautions such as using disposable gloves and a resuscitation mask to prevent disease transmission to do a primary survey first check for consciousness tap and gently shake the victim and shout are you okay can you hear me if the victim does not respond have someone call 911 emergency number immediately unconsciousness is a life-threatening condition he's not responding if someone called 911 next check the ABCs airway breathing and circulation to open the airway tilt the head back and lift the chin put your ear close to the victims nose and mouth look listen and feel for breathing for about five seconds if the victim is not breathing place your resuscitation mask over the victims nose and mouth seal the mask and open the airway give two rescue breaths a rescue breath should last about two seconds breathe just enough to make the victims chest clearly rise then remove the mask and check for signs of circulation signs of circulation are normal breathing coughing or movement in response to the rescue breaths or a pulse to feel for a pulse locate the Adam's apple and slide your fingers down into the groove on the side of the neck look listen and feel for signs of circulation for no more than 10 seconds finally check for severe bleeding look carefully from head to toe the care you provide depends on what conditions you find during your primary survey if you find an unconscious victim who is facing down or in an awkward position try not to move her check breathing by positioning yourself as close to the victims nose and mouth as possible and look listen and feel for breathing if the victim is not breathing or you can't tell roll her over onto her back begin by lifting the arm on the side the victim will be rolled two up above the head place one hand on the victims hip and the other hand on her head and neck roll the body as a unit being careful to support the head and neck as she turns over next open the airway and recheck breathing for about five seconds if the victim is not breathing continue with the primary survey the care you provide depends on the conditions you find if the victim is breathing and you do not suspect a head neck or back injury place the victim in the recovery position by rolling the victim on to her side begin by lifting the arm on the side the victim will be rolled two up above the head secure the other arm by placing your hand over the victims wrist and next to the hip place your other hand behind the head and neck and roll the body as a unit being careful to support the head so that it is angled toward the ground bend the top leg and move it forward next place the victims hand near her mouth and nose then place the top leg over the bottom leg once in the recovery position the victim should be turned to the opposite sign after 30 minutes or if there are signs of loss of circulation to the lower arm such as pale ashen or grayish skin that is cool to the touch if an emergency occurs on land activate the emergency action plan by alerting the other members of your safety team then proceed with the primary survey as you approach the incident survey the scene determine whether the scene is safe what happened how many victims are involved and if any bystanders can help if the scene is unsafe take the victim to a safe place before you continue care once you are sure the scene is safe do a primary survey first check for consciousness what happened I cut myself on the table if the victim is able to speak clearly and answer basic questions she is conscious and alert if the victim is conscious always get consent before providing care my name is Kim I know first aid may I help you yes okay take your hand place it over the cut it'll help slow the bleeding raise your arm slightly knees you go to the office call 9-1-1 I having someone is severely bleeding okay call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number if the illness or injury appears to be serious or life-threatening to review in an emergency situation activate the emergency action plan and perform the general water rescue steps to remove a victim from the water once the victim is safe do a primary survey check for consciousness can you hear me if the victim does not respond have someone call 911 C number then check the ABCs airway breathing and circulation check for breathing for about five seconds if the victim is not breathing give two rescue breaths check for signs of circulation for no more than 10 seconds and check for severe bleeding if the emergency occurs on land activate the emergency action plan as you approach survey the scene if the victim is conscious and alert get consent before providing care they may help you do every primary survey carefully to determine whether the victim has any life-threatening conditions this allows you to determine how to provide the most appropriate care [Music] if during the primary survey you find that an unconscious victim is not breathing but has a pulse begin rescue breathing one one thousand two one thousand three one thousand four thoughts [Music] position the resuscitation mask seal the mask and open the airway by tilting the head back and lifting the chin take a breath before you give a rescue breath give one slow breath about every five seconds your breath should last about two seconds breathing too hard or too long can force air into the stomach breathe just enough to make the chest clearly rise one thousand two one after one minute of rescue breathing about 12 breaths remove the mask and recheck signs of circulation for no more than 10 seconds look listen and feel for breathing for movement in response to rescue breaths and feel for a pulse if the victim has a pulse but is not breathing replace the resuscitation mask and continue rescue breathing give one rescue breath about every five seconds three without hotel one thousand two one thousand three one thousand we would have to agree with that one one thousand two one thousand three without home without recheck for signs of circulation every minute if at any time you find the victim has no signs of circulation begin CPR you will learn more about CPR in another lesson if the victim vomits roll her on to her side and sweep out the middle continue rescue breathing until the victim begins to breathe on her own another trained rescuer arrives and takes over you were too exhausted to continue or the scene becomes unsafe when rescue breathing for a child follow the same basic steps as an adult but the head is tilted back only far enough to allow your breath to go in one one thousand two one thousand breathe for a child at a slightly faster rate than horn I don't give one rescue breath about every three seconds one one-thousand two one-thousand breathe enough to see the chest clearly wrong one thousand two one thousand one one thousand two one thousand one one thousand two one thousand one one thousand two one thousand after one minute or about 20 breaths check for signs of circulation for no more than 10 seconds recheck for signs of circulation every minute if at any time you find the victim has no signs of circulation begin CPR when doing rescue breathing for an infant reverse the direction of the resuscitation mask placing the nose of the mask on the infant's chin seal the mask over the infant's mouth and nose to open the airway tilt the head back slightly give one rescue breath about every three seconds one one thousand two one thousand breathe only enough to see the chest clearly now it's too one one thousand two one thousand one one-thousand two one one one thousand two one thousand one one thousand two one thousand after one minute check for signs of circulation for no more than 10 seconds recheck for signs of circulation every minute if at any time you find the victim has no signs of circulation begin CPR when you suspect that a victim has an injury to the head neck or back open the airway using a jaw thrust because tilting the head back could cause further injury place your thumbs on the mask and your fingers under the angles of the jaw brace your elbows for support without tilting the head lift the jaw to open the airway to review if during the primary survey you find that an unconscious victim is not breathing but has a pulse begin rescue breathing position and seal the resuscitation mask open the airway by tilting the head back and lifting the chin take a breath before giving a rest give one rescue breath about every five seconds for in $1 over each breath lasting about two seconds breathe for a child an infant at a slightly faster rate than for an adult breathe just enough to make the chest clearly wounds give one rescue breath about every 10 seconds for an infant the resuscitation mask is inverted and placed over the nose and mouth after one minute of rescue breaths recheck for signs of circulation if the victim is not breathing continue rescue breathing until the victim begins breathing on his or her own you are too exhausted to continue another trained rescuer arrives and takes over or the scene becomes unsafe remember to recheck for signs of circulation every minute care for the conditions you fund [Music] an obstructed airway is the most common cause of respiratory emergency are you okay first determine whether the person is choking if a person appears to be choking and is coughing forcefully encourage him to keep coughing she coughing keep coughing if a person can no longer speak cough or breathe give abdominal thrusts to clear the airway don't 9-1-1 this man is choking I know first aid can I help you stand behind the victim placing one foot between the victims legs and position your hands find the navel make a fist with your other hand and place the thumb side of your fist against the middle of the victims abdomen just above the navel grasp your fist with your other hand and give quick upward thrusts each thrust should be a separate attempt to force the object out note these skill demonstrations do not show the actual force needed to perform abdominal thrusts on conscious choking victims continue thrusts until the object is forced out the victim starts to breathe or cough forcefully on his own or another trained rescuer arrives and takes over if the victim loses consciousness gently lower him to the ground if you determine that a conscious child has an obstructed airway follow the same steps as you would for a conscious adult okay keep coughing keep coughing Jay calm down one one this child is choking I know first date can I help yes please depending on the size of the child you may have to adjust your height when doing abdominal thrusts on a child use less force than you would for an adult performing thrusts with too much force may cause internal injuries to a child if an infant is conscious but seems unable to make normal noises or if the infant cannot cry cough or breathe he may be choking John call 9-1-1 this baby's choking position the infant facedown on your forearm then lower your forearm to your thigh for support the infant's head should be lower than the chest using the heel of your hand give five forceful back blows between the infant's shoulder blades position the infant between your two forearms carefully supporting the head and neck turn the infant face up and again lower your forearm to your thigh if the infant is still not coughing or crying loudly locate the position for chest thrusts imagine a line running across the infant's chest between the nipples place your ring finger on the center of the chest just under this line with your next two fingers on the chest raise the ring finger give 5 chest thrusts each thrust is a separate attempt to force the object out compress the breastbone smoothly about 1/2 to 1 inch continue with back blows and chest thrusts until the object is forced out the infant can call for cry clearly or until the infant becomes unconscious one one thousand two one thousand three one thousand four one thousand five one thousand [Music] to review if an adult cannot call speak or breathe give abdominal thrusts do coffee keep coughing call 911 local emergency number stand behind the victim position your hands give five quick upward abdominal thrusts continue thrusts until the object is forced out the victim can breathe or coughed forcefully on his own or the victim becomes unconscious for a child with an obstructed airway adjust your height if necessary and use less force when giving abdominal thrusts if you determine that a conscious infant is choking position the infant give five back blows one-one thousand two-one thousand three-one thousand four-one turn the infant over and give 5 chest thrusts y one thousand two one thousand three one thousand four one thousand five one thousand continue with back blows and chest thrusts until the object is forced out the infant can cough or cry clearly where the infant becomes unconscious you will learn how to care for our conscious choking victims in another lesson are you okay can you hear me call it or what she's unconscious [Music] if during the primary survey you find an unconscious victim and your first two rescue breaths do not go in you might not have tilted the head back far enough reposition the airway by tilting the head a little further back and to give another two rescue breaths if your breaths still won't go in assume the airway is blocked remove the resuscitation mask straddle one or both of the victims legs and position your hands to give abdominal thrusts place the heel of one hand against the middle of the victims abdomen just above the navel place your other hand on top with fingers pointing toward the victim's head give up to five abdominal thrusts use quick upward thrusts to force air out of the lungs and how to push the object out then sweep out the mouth grasp the tongue and lower jaw between your thumb and fingers and lift the jaw to do a finger sweep slide your index finger along the inside of the cheek using a hooking motion to sweep the object out we place the resuscitation mask open the airway and give two rescue breaths watch to see if the chest clearly rises if breaths do not go in reposition the airway and give two rescue breaths again if the breaths still do not go in repeat five abdominal thrusts each thrust should be a separate attempt to force the object out to one thousand three one thousand four one thousand five one thousand continue thrusts sweep and rescue breaths until your breaths go in the victim begins to breathe on his or her own or an untrained rescuer arrives and takes over if you find that an unconscious child has an obstructed airway follow the same steps as you would for an unconscious adult if your first two breaths do not go in reposition the airway tilt a child's head back only far enough to allow your breaths to go in then give two rescue breaths again if your breaths still won't go in assume the airway is blocked straddle the child's legs and position your hands on the abdomen just above the navel give up to five abdominal thrusts use less force when giving abdominal thrusts to a child too much force may cause internal injuries next look for a foreign object by opening the child's mouth grasp the lower jaw and tongue look for a foreign object if you see something remove it by sweeping the object out with your little finger replace the resuscitation mask and give two rescue breaths if your breaths still do not go in continued cycles of five abdominal thrusts foreign object check and two rescue breaths continue care until you can breathe into the child the child starts breathing on his or her own or another trained rescuer arrives and takes over are you okay are you okay Sean go call 9-1-1 this baby's not responding if you find an unconscious infant and your first two rescue breaths do not go in reposition the airway an infant's head does not need to be tilted back very far to allow breaths to go in give two rescue breaths again if the breaths still do not go in position the infant facedown on your forearm and lower your forearm to your thigh for support the infant's head should be lower than the chest using the heel of your hand give five back blows between the infant's shoulder blades then position the infant between both of your forearms carefully supporting the head and neck turn the infant face up onto the opposite forearm lower your arm onto your thigh and locate the position for chest thrusts imagine a line running across the infant's chest between the nipples place your ring finger on the center of the chest just under this line place your next two fingers on the chest and raise the ring finger give 5 chest thrusts compress the breastbone about 1/2 to 1 inch next look for a foreign object grasp the lower jaw and tongue if you see something remove it by sweeping the object out with your little finger if you do not see an object replace the resuscitation mask open the airway and give two rescue breaths if the breaths still do not go in reposition the airway and give two rescue breaths again if these breaths do not go in continue with back blows and chest thrusts each back blow and chest thrust should be a separate attempt to dislodge the object next look in the mouth if you see a foreign object use a hooking motion with your little finger to sweep the object out to review if you find an unconscious adult victim and your first two rescue breaths do not go in reposition the airway and give two rescue breaths again if your breaths still do not go in assume the airway is blocked remove the resuscitation mask [Music] straddle the victim and find your hand position give up to five abdominal thrusts to one thousand three one thousand sweep at the mouth replace the resuscitation mask and give two rescue breaths if the breaths still do not go in reposition the airway and give two rescue breaths again continue abdominal thrusts finger sweeps and rescue breaths until your breaths go in the victim begins to breathe on her or his own or another trained rescuer arrives and takes over for a child use the same steps as for an adult but tilt the head back only far enough to allow your rescue breaths to go in use less force when giving abdominal thrusts and if you see a foreign object sweep it out for an infant if the first two rescue breaths do not go in slightly reposition the airway and give two rescue breaths again position the infant facedown on your arm and give five back blows turn the infant over and give 5 chest thrusts one 1,002 1,003 thousand five more thousand look for a foreign object do a finger sweep only if you see an object continue Brett's back clothes chest thrusts and foreign object check until your breaths go in the infant begins to breathe cry or cough on his or her own or until another trained rescuer arrives and takes over if at any point rescue breaths go into the victim check for signs of circulation and breathing for no more than ten seconds [Music] if there are signs of circulation and breathing place the victim in a recovery position and continue to monitor for signs of circulation and breathing [Music] if there are signs of circulation but no breathing give rescue breaths if there are no signs of circulation give CPR you will learn more about CPR in another lesson are you okay can you hear me call 911 conscious if during the primary survey you find an unconscious victim send someone to call 911 local emergency number and continue with the primary survey [Music] if the victim has no signs of circulation begin CPR to begin find the correct hand position locate the notch at the lower end of the breastbone place the heel of one hand next to and above this notch on the center of the breastbone place your other hand on top position your shoulders directly over your hands give 15 chest compressions at a rate of about 100 compressions per minute to keep your elbows locked and your fingers off the chest compress the chest about two inches deep on an adult when you complete 15 compressions give two rescue breaths take a breath before you give each breath each rescue breath should last about two seconds one and two and three fifteen compressions should take about ten seconds counting out loud will help you maintain an even pace and rhythm watch for the chest to rise and fall to ensure your breaths are going in let the chest return to its normal position between compressions keep the down and up motion of each compression smooth pushing with the weight of your upper body not with your arms by compressing the heart between the breastbone and spine you force blood containing oxygen to vital organs throughout the body after one minute of compressions and breaths about four cycles recheck for signs of circulation for no more than 10 seconds if there are still no signs of circulation continued cycles of 15 compressions and two rescue breaths recheck for signs of circulation every few minutes to determine any changes in the victims condition continue CPR until the victim begins breathing or you can feel a pulse another trained rescuer arrives and takes over an AED becomes readily available one two you are too exhausted to continue or the city becomes honest 11 and 12 and 13 and 14 and 50 okay okay he's unconscious call 9-1-1 if you find a child with no signs of circulation begin CPR CPR for a child is similar to cpr for an adult but there are a few important differences find the notch at the lower end of the child's breastbone by sliding your middle and index fingers up the edge of the rib cage where the ribs meet the breastbone place your middle finger on the knotch place the heel of this hand on the center of the breastbone next to where your index finger was place your other hand on the child's forehead and tilt the head back to keep the airway open position your shoulders straight over your hand with your elbow locked and give five chest compressions compress the chest about 1 and 1/2 inches at a rate of 100 compressions per minute give 5 compressions in about three seconds replace and seal the resuscitation mask open the airway and give one rescue breath lasting about one in 1/2 seconds 1 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 watch the child's chest rise and fall 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 one and two and three and four and five one and two and three and four and five one and two and three and four and five one and two and three and four and five one two and three and four and five one and two and three and four and five one and two and three and four and five one and two and three and four and five one and two and three and four and five after about 12 cycles of five compressions in one rescue breath recheck for signs of circulation for no more than ten seconds if there are still no signs of circulation continue cycles of five compressions and one rescue breath rechecking signs of circulation every few minutes to determine any changes in the child's condition if an infant has no signs of circulation begin CPR CPR for an infant is similar to CPR for a child but there are differences the infant should be on his or her back on a firm flat surface such as the floor or a table locate the correct hand position for chest compressions by imagining a line running across the chest between the infant's nipples place the index finger on the infant's breastbone just below this imaginary line with the pads of the next two fingers on the infant's breastbone raise your index finger if you feel the notch at the end of the infant's breastbone move your fingers slightly toward the infant's head use these two fingers to compress the infant's chest straight down five times to a depth of about one half to one inch and at a rate of at least 100 compressions per minute one two three four and five replace the resuscitation mask took the infant's head back take a breath and give one rescue breath give five compressions in slightly less than three seconds a rescue breath should last about one-and-a-half seconds what keep the down and up motion as smooth as possible one and two and three and four and five after about one minute for about 20 cycles recheck for signs of circulation for no more or ten seconds one and two and three and four and five one and two and three and four and five one and two and three four and five one and two and three and four and five 1 & 2 3 & 4 & 5 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 5 if there are still no signs of circulation continued cycles of five compressions and one rescue breath recheck for signs of circulation every few minutes to determine any changes in the infant's condition one two three four five one two three and four and five to review if during the primary survey you check an unconscious victim and find no signs of circulation begin CPR find the correct hand position give 15 chest compressions 1 2 3 4 give 2 rescue breaths after 1 minute about 4 cycles recheck for signs of circulation for no more than 10 seconds if there are still no signs of circulation continue see pls recheck signs of circulation every few minutes to determine any changes in the victims conditions to do CPR for a child find the hand position on the center of the breastbone keep the airway open give 5 compressions in about 3 seconds compress the chest about 1 and 1/2 inches at the rate of about 100 compressions per minute give 1 rescue breath lasting about 1 and 1/2 seconds after one minute about 12 cycles rechecked for signs of circulation if there is still no signs of circulation continued cycles of five compressions and one rescue breath recheck for signs of circulation every few minutes to do CPR for an infant find the correct finger placement on the infant's breastbone keep the airway open give five compressions in slightly less than three seconds compress about one half to one inch at a rate of at least 100 compressions per minute give one rescue breath lasting about 1 and 1/2 second one after one minute or about 20 cycles recheck for signs of circulation if there is still no signs of circulation continue cycles of five compressions and one rescue breath continue CPR until the victim begins breathing or you can feel a pulse another trained rescuer arrives and takes over an AED is readily available and appropriate to use you are too exhausted to continue or the scene becomes unsafe nope when there are two lifeguards available to perform CPR one gives breaths and the other performs chest compressions guard one conducts the primary survey and gives rescue breaths guard two performs chest compressions to rescuer CPR is more efficient than performing one rescuer CPR good communication is vital when two lifeguards work together to perform CPR no pulse begin CPR if the victim has no pulse one lifeguard guard two moves to the victims side finds the correct hand position three and gives fifteen chest compressions counting out loud helps the lifeguards work together the other lifeguard guard one gives two rescue breaths give 15 compressions and no more than ten seconds each rescue breath should last about two seconds counting out loud helps both lifeguards keep an even pace and one and two and three and four and five and six and seven and eight and nine and ten and eleven and twelve and thirteen and fourteen and fifteen boss check after one minute of compressions and breaths about four cycles recheck for signs of circulation for no more than 10 seconds no pulse continue CPR if there are no signs of circulation guard 2 resumes compressions and CPR continues if you need to change positions during to rescuer CPR call for a position change by using the word change in place of the word 15 in a compression cycle at the end of a cycle change positions guard 2 moves to the head with her own resuscitation mask and rechecks for signs of circulation for no more than 10 seconds guard 1 homes into position at the chest and on command continues compressions what and now watch the change again follow guard - as she moves from the chest to the head at the end of the cycle she moves quickly to the head and rechecks for signs of circulation for no more than 10 seconds no pulse continues if the victim has no pulse give the command to continue CPR watch the change again following guard one on the right guard one completes two breaths moves quickly to the chest finds his hand position and waits for the command to begin one and two and three and four and five watch the change for two rescuer child CPR and notice how both lifeguards coordinate their movements no pulse continue CPR one after the change continue CPR with cycles of five compressions and one rescue breath [Music] when performing two rescuer infant CPR the rescuer doing compressions should use the two thumbs encircling hands technique to use this technique place your thumbs next to each other on the lower half of the infant's breastbone ensuring that the thumbs do not compress the lower end of the breastbone put your hands around the infant's chest supporting the infant's back with the fingers of your hands place your thumbs about one fingers width below the nipples use both thumbs to compress the chest approximately one half to one inch deep each compression release the pressure on the breastbone and allow the breastbone to return to a normal position without removing the thumbs from each compression and relaxation phase should be smooth and equal in time cause after five compressions and give one rescue breath one and two and three I give compressions at a rate of at least 100 per minute or nearly two compressions a second after 20 cycles recheck for signs of circulation for no more than ten seconds if there are still no signs of circulation continue CPR with cycles of five compressions and one rescue breath a bag valve mask is a handheld device used for rescue breathing or to assist a victim in respiratory distress it also helps protect against disease transmission the bag valve mask also called a BVM can be used by one rescuer but is most effective when one rescuer seals the mask and keeps the airway open while another rescuer squeezes the bag to deliver ventilations three one thousand four one thousand three bag-valve-mask s-- come in different shapes and styles but they all have the same essential parts a resuscitation mask with a one-way valve and a self inflating bag some BBM's come with the valve already attached if not attach the valve to the bag there are also BBM's designed specifically for children to use a bag valve mask first assemble the BBM by attaching the mask to the bag and valve position the mask so that it covers the victims mouth and nose next seal the mask and open the airway place your thumbs on each side of the mask slide your fingers into position behind the angles of the jaw apply downward pressure with your thumbs lift the jaw and tilt the head back to open the airway begin ventilation else one one thousand two one thousand three one thousand four one thousand three give one ventilation about every five seconds using only enough force to make the chest clearly rise one one thousand two one thousand three one thousand watch the chest rise and fall with each ventilation one one thousand two one thousand three one thousand four one thousand squeeze the bag slowly for about two seconds two one thousand three one thousand four one thousand three for a child ventilate at a slightly faster rate than you would for an adult three one one thousand two one thousand three give one ventilation about every three seconds squeeze the bag slowly for about one-and-a-half seconds one one thousand two one thousand three one one thousand two one thousand three one one thousand two one four an infant ventilate as you would for a child give one ventilation about every three seconds squeeze the bag slowly for about 1 and 1/2 seconds thousand one one thousand two one thousand breathe in review - use the bag valve mask assemble the bag valve mask position the mask seal the mass and open the airway begin ventilation to one thousand three one thousand four one thousand three four an adult give one ventilation about every five seconds for a child an infant give one ventilation about every three seconds recheck for signs of circulation and breathing about every minute one thousand two one thousand breathe one one thousand two one thousand
