The infant's respirations are gasping and are NOT moving air. You should:
 
  a. position the infant head down and rub its back to stimulate breathing.
  b. begin immediate ventilation with oxygen using the bag-valve mask.
  c. intubate the trachea and apply suction to the ET tube to remove any foreign material from the lower airway.
  d. give blow-by oxygen and transport immediately.
