Restoration of an open airway
Opening the airways to the lungs is therefore the most important action you can take to help a person breathe again. in fact, it may be enough to restore breathing. It is usually not difficult to open an obstructed airway.
With the unconscious person lying on their back, first lift their neck. This will cause the head to fall back, extending the neck. But also, turn your head completely back, until you go further. You might be surprised at how much your head grows down the length of your neck. Once done, the chin will almost point upward with the crown resting on the floor. In this position, the jaw and tongue are pushed forward and the throat airways are not blocked.
Sometimes, however, it may also be necessary to clean the mouth and throat with blood, vomit, food scraps, or other obstructions. To do this, wrap a clean tissue or handkerchief around your fingers and remove any obstructions. If you don't have a scarf or something similar, use your fingers. You have to remember that the father who saved his son sucked the debris into his mouth and then spat.
Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation(CPR)
If this rapid clearance of the airways does not restore breathing, begin artificial respiration immediately. Quick action is vital. Remember that the unconscious person can only go four to six minutes without breathing. Therefore, your goal is to do a person's normal breathing job, forcing air in and out of the lungs.
Open your mouth and place it directly over the victim's mouth, making an airtight seal. Then close your nose and breathe into your mouth until you see the chest rise and the lungs expand. Or you can blow your nose and keep your mouth closed. If the victim is a small child, place the mouth over the mouth and nose and breathe.
When you breathe out, the person's lungs should fill with air and the chest expands. Otherwise, there is probably still airway obstruction. In this case, turn the person on their side with their head tilted down and strike hard between the shoulder blades. It can move the object. A child can be held upside down with the heels and punched between the shoulder blades, the strength of which depends on the size of the child.
When the airways are open and after inhaling, what should you do next? Remove the mouth and inhale again, listening to the air coming out of the victim's lungs; Also notice if your chest is falling. Then inhale again, repeatedly inflating the lungs at a rate of ten to twelve times per minute for an adult and at least twenty times per minute for a child. Give an adult more vigorous puffs of air, a child with smaller puffs. It is important that the person's head is always tilted correctly to keep the airways open.
When the victim begins to breathe on their own, their breathing will be shallow and shallow. Therefore, program your inflation according to your weak breathing. Continue to help him breathe until he finds a satisfactory breath.
If after a while your breathing efforts fail to trigger the victim's breathing, you can interrupt about every two breaths with five or six heart-to-chest maneuvers. Don't give up quickly. People are reborn after an hour or more of resuscitation efforts.
