Artificial respiration
|
|
If, despite having the respiratory tract cleared, the person cannot breathe, do not waste any time; and anyways, if the person were breathing, this measure would do no damage to him or her. The method nose-to-mouth is more hygienic, in most cases, than mouth-to-mouth.
- The rescuer must kneel beside the head of the affected person. Next, the head must be bended backwards, the jaw stretched forward and the mouth closed. The thumb of the rescuer lower hand must be placed between the lower lip and the point of the chin in order to close the patient’s mouth.
- The rescuer inspires normally and puts his or her mouth over the nostrils of the patient. The lips put a slight pressure on the nose.
- The rescuer then blows the air into the nose. The rescuer inspiration is done by turning the head sideways so as not to breathe the air exhaled by the patient.
- Put an ear close to the nostrils to check the noise of exhalation.
