  1. After pinching nose, ‘attempt to breathe’ means to blow in air in child’s mouth or to suck in air?
    Also if after compressions, any object is seen in the mouth, how to safely remove it?
    Are there more ways, like massaging the throat. Or when child is conscious, can drinking soft drink (soda carbonated water help)? Or putting finger in throat to throw up?
