Tactile stimulation (HR<100 or apnea/IR breath rub back and
put) Oxygen near the face
Bag valve mask - unresponsive to tactile stim within a few sec (40-60bpm)
reposition head, reapply mask, suction again prn, if no response in 30 sec
Intubate - if HR < 60 after PPV for 30 sec, then
Chest compressions - 3:1 ratio (90 compressions / 30 breaths)
