28 Jul Bonus YSS: Mouth-to-mouth
If you choose to do mouth-to-mouth, you will want to compress the chest 30 times and then blow twice into the victims mouth, then return to compressions. Basically you give 2 breaths for every 30 chest compressions. Here’s how to give artificial respiration (mouth-to-mouth)
- Tilt the head back and lift up the chin.
- Pinch the nostrils shut with two fingers to prevent leakage of air.
- Take a deep breath and seal your own mouth over the person’s mouth.
- Breathe slowly into the person’s mouth—it should take about two seconds to adequately inflate the chest.
- Do this twice.
- Check to see if the chest rises as you breathe into the person.
- If it does, enough air is being blown in.
- If there is resistance, try to hold the head back further and lift the chin again.
- Repeat this procedure until help arrives or the person starts breathing again.
