Lay the patient supine with his arms parallel with the body, if the patient is laying on an inclined
1
plane, make sure that his stomach is slightly lower than his chest. Open the patient's mouth and
check that there are no extraneous bodies in his mouth (dentures, chewing-gum etc.),
Kneel beside the patient level with his head. Put a hand under the
patient's head and one under his neck (see fig.) Lift the patient's
2
head and let it recline backwards as far as possible
Shift the hand from the patient's neck to is chin: place your thumb
between his chin and his mouth, the index along his jawbone, and
keep the other fingers closed together (see fig.). While performing
3
these operations take a good supply of oxygen by taking deep
breaths with your mouth open.
With your thumb between the patient's chin and mouth keep his
lips together and blow into his nasal cavities (see fig.)
4
While performing these operations observe if the patient's chest
rises (see fig.) If not it is possible that his nose is blocked: in that
case open the patient's mouth as much as possible by pressing
on his chin with your hand, place your lips around his mouth and
blow into his oral cavity. Observe if the patient's chest heaves.
5
This second method can be used instead of the first even when
the patient's nose is kept closed by pressing the nostrils together
using the hand you were holding his head with. The patient's
head must be kept sloping backwards as much as possible.
Start with ten rapid expirations, hence continue at a rate of twelve/fifteen expirations per minute. Go
6
on like this until the patient has regained consciousness, or until a doctor has ascertained his death.
