Which action is likely to cause air to enter the victim's stomach (gastric inflation) during bag-mask ventilation?

Asked by daeynia72

Answer (1)

Gastric inflation during bag-mask ventilation can occur due to improper sealing of the mask, over-ventilation, or incorrect head positioning. Ensuring a good seal, moderate ventilation, and correct head alignment are essential to prevent air from entering the stomach. Proper technique is important in effective ventilation. ;
