Multiple Choice

When providing care for an unresponsive infant with an obstructed airway, what is the most appropriate first action you should take when you are alone?

Attempt to remove the obstruction with a blind finger sweep before starting compressions.

Deliver five back blows followed by five chest thrusts before checking responsiveness.

Immediately leave the infant to activate the emergency response system before providing any care.

Begin cycles of 30 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths, then activate emergency response after 2 minutes.

Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Assess the situation and confirm that the infant is unresponsive and has an obstructed airway. Ensure the environment is safe for providing care.

Step 2: Position the infant on a firm, flat surface, such as a table or the ground, and ensure their airway is open by gently tilting the head back and lifting the chin.

Step 3: Begin cycles of 30 chest compressions using two fingers placed just below the nipple line on the infant's sternum. Compress the chest about 1.5 inches deep at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute.

Step 4: After completing 30 chest compressions, deliver 2 rescue breaths. To do this, cover the infant's nose and mouth with your mouth, create a seal, and gently blow air into their lungs while watching for chest rise.

Step 5: Continue the cycles of 30 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths for 2 minutes before activating the emergency response system if you are alone. This ensures the infant receives immediate care before help arrives.
