One-hand bag mask ventilation technique

To perform this technique, one hand is placed on the mask, with the web space between the thumb and index finger resting against the mask connector. The web space is placed in the center of the mask, allowing for a more even application of pressure. The correct technique is to lift the mandible up into the mask with the middle, ring, and little fingers, while holding the mask tightly against the patient's face with the thumb and index finger. Clinicians should take care to pull up only on the bony parts of the mandible; pressure to the soft tissues of the neck may occlude the airway.
