My scene is safe, my gloves are on. My rescue mask is available with a one way valve. Baby, baby, are you all right? Are you okay? You, go call 911 and come back. Or activate emergency services, or call a code. I check for normal breathing. I check for a brachial pulse. The pulse is good but the baby is not breathing. I am going to deliver rescue breaths at one breath every two to three seconds. Two minutes. After two minutes of rescue breathing, I reassess for a pulse. If the pulse is absent and there is no breathing, I start CPR. Pulse is still present but no breathing, I'm going to continue rescue breathing until help arrives, the baby responds or an AED responds.
