How to use a Paediatric Pocket Mask

While you can use an adult pocket mask on a child with a larger face, it will not work on an infant. You can see here that this mask is covering their entire face. You're not going to be able to get an effective seal in this case.
You can see here it isn't a triangular shape, so there's no particular direction that you need to place this on their face. But you do still need to ensure that this rim here is going between their chin and lower lip as best you can.
So when you place this on their face, you need to keep their head in the neutral position to perform the CPR, and you're pressing down firmly but gently
And the procedure is the same as with an adult: you do your 2 rescue breaths and your 30 compressions.
