Note to Instructor: How to correct technique errors that participants often make


1. No head/neck support on turn from facedown to face-up


Review V hand position to support head and proper turning technique.


2. Poor chin-lift: fingers positioned on soft part of neck or under chin, not on jawbone


Demonstrate putting 2 fingers on jawbone and lifting up.


3. Unable to open airway by adequate head-tilt/chin-lift Infant may be over-titled. A tiny tilt may work.


4. Seal not created Mouth of rescuer should cover infant’s mouth and nose.


5. Rescue breaths too forceful


Infant needs a teeny tiny breath. Chest just barely needs to rise.


6. Wrong finger placement Fingers just below nipples. Lengthwise—not crosswise.


7. Moves fingers Fingers stay on chest between pushes.


8. Wrong delivery Push hard and fast.


9. Pressure not released Chest should return to normal after each push.


10. Wrong rate Correct rate is 100-120 compressions per minute.
