RESCUE BREATHING
Open mouth wide to seal round patient's nose avoiding pinching nostrils. Keep his lips closed.
Blow until his chest rises. Deep breaths for adults, shallow for children, only puffs for infants.
Part patients's lips, listen to him breathe out as you take another breath, then blow again.

EASY TO APPLY!
Expired-Air Resuscitation the most effective way of reviving anyone whose breathing has been stopped by drowning, electric shock, gas, smothering or other causes. Although manual methods of resuscitation are effective in certain cases, “rescue breathing” gets more air into a patient's lungs faster, and so improves the chances of reviving him.
ESSENTIAL! KEEP PATIENT'S HEAD TILTED RIGHT BACK
