When for any reason a person stops breathing, the body cells begin at once to suffer for lack of oxygen. Two of body's organs work together in providing oxygen to the cells: the lungs, which derive oxygen from the air, and the heart , which propels oxygen-laden blood to all parts of the body.
In many cases of breathing failure or heart stoppage, breathing or heart action will resume pretty soon if only the victim can be over by artificial respiration and heart resuscitation. The present item deals with keeping the lungs active..
In any severe accident or unconscious, see if the victim's chest moves as he breathes. If not, begin artificial respiration. Act fast.
Mouth to mouth breathing for artjficial respiration
If the victim is in a room filled with smoke or gas, remove him to fresh air
Lay him on his back on the ground, on the floor or on a table
Wipe any foreign material out of his mouth, using your fingers or a handkerchief. Do this in 10 secs or less
Place 1 hand under his neck and lift, tilting his head as far back as reasonable so that the front of his neck is stretched and his chin points upward.
Place your mouth firmly over the victim's mouth and blow hard enough to blow air into his lungs and make his chest rise. Close his nostrils either by pinching them closed or by placing your cheek against his nostrils as you blow into his mouth. If the victim is a small child, you may place your mouth over both his mouth and nose. (Remember that child's lungs do not hold as much air as an adult's. Be careful not to over inflate his lungs.)
Remove your mouth from the victim's face and listen for escaping air. The patient should exhale on his own even tough though unconscious. If no air escapes, it must be that you did not succeed in forcing air into his lungs. In this case pull his chin forward (so that his lower teeth are ahead of his upper teeth) and try again. Make sure that the chin points upward.
If you still cannot blow air into the victim's lungs, turn him on his side and slap him several times between the shoulder blades in hope of jarring loose whatever foreign material may be obstructing his air passages. In the case of a child, hold him sharply between the shoulders then wipe his mouth clear of any obstructing material.
Once you succeed in blowing air into the victim's lungs, repeat this every five seconds (12 times per minute), taking your face away between times so he may exhale.
Between breaths, summon help. Send someone for a doctor, ambulance, or rescue team. Have someone find coats or blankets to keep the victim warm.
Keep up the mouth to mouth breathin until the victim is able to breathe on his own or for at least two hours or until a physician pronounces the victim dead. The lives of many persons have been saved after more than an hour of artificial respiration.
