Outcomes

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Deliver Rescue Breaths: Provide rescue breaths using mouth-to-mouth/nose, mouth-to-mask, or a bag valve mask, maintaining the appropriate ratio based on the number of rescuers (30 compressions to 2 ventilations for a single rescuer, 15 compressions to 2 ventilations for multiple rescuers).
