Rescue Breathing
WHEN AN ADULT, CHILD, OR INFANT HAS A PULSE
BUT IS NOT BREATHING EFFECTIVELY,
RESCUERS SHOULD GIVE BREATHS WITHOUT CHEST COMPRESSIONS.
THIS IS RESCUE BREATHING.
FOR ADULTS, GIVE 1 BREATH EVERY 5 TO 6 SECONDS,
ABOUT 10 TO 12 BREATHS PER MINUTE.
FOR INFANTS AND CHILDREN, GIVE 1 BREATH
EVERY 3 TO 5 SECONDS, ABOUT 12 TO 20 BREATHS PER MINUTE.
GIVE EACH BREATH IN 1 SECOND.
EACH BREATH SHOULD RESULT IN A VISIBLE CHEST RISE.
AND YOU SHOULD CHECK THE PULSE ABOUT EVERY 2 MINUTES.
BECAUSE MANY CARDIAC ARRESTS HAPPEN AT HOME,
YOU MAY NEED TO GIVE BREATHS TO A FAMILY MEMBER
OR CLOSE FRIEND WHEN YOU ARE OFF DUTY.
TO GIVE MOUTH-TO-MOUTH BREATHS TO A VICTIM 1 YEAR OF AGE
AND OLDER, HOLD THE VICTIMS AIRWAY OPEN
WITH THE HEAD TILT-CHIN LIFT.
PINCH THE NOSE CLOSED WITH YOUR THUMB AND INDEX FINGER.
TAKE A REGULAR BREATH AND SEAL YOUR LIPS AROUND
THE VICTIMS MOUTH, CREATING AN AIRTIGHT SEAL.
GIVE 1 BREATH, BLOWING FOR ABOUT 1 SECOND.
WATCH FOR THE CHEST TO RISE AS YOU GIVE THE BREATH.
IF THE CHEST DOES NOT RISE, REPEAT THE HEAD TILT-CHIN LIFT.
GIVE A SECOND BREATH.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO VENTILATE THE VICTIM AFTER 2 ATTEMPTS,
PROMPTLY RETURN TO CHEST COMPRESSIONS.
