Initially provide rescue breaths using an ambu bag and a mask at full flow oxygen.
Perform continued assessment of airway patency while giving breaths.
(Condensation on mask during exhalation, chest rise, Et CO2)
Have the person doing chest compressions pause during the 2 rescue breaths.
If the patient is not ventilating well or if there is a presumed risk of aspiration, insert an advanced airway device when prudent:
Endotreacheal Intubation is the preferred method.
