Treatment to Give When the Patient Has a
Pulse Beating but Has Ceased to Breathe
 Performing mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration - Fig. 1
(1) Bend the patient's face backward until it is directed to look back. (A pillow may be
placed under the neck.)
(2) Pull up the lower jaw to open up the airway. (To spread the airway)
(3) Pinching the patient's nose, breathe deeply and blow your breath into the patient's
mouth strongly, with care to close it completely. Then, move your mouth away and
take a deep breath, and blow into his or her mouth. Repeat blowing at 10 to 15 times
a minute (always with the patient's nostrils closed).
(4) Continue artificial respiration until natural respiration is restored.
(5) If the patient's mouth won't open easily, insert a pipe, such as one made of rubber or
vinyl, into either nostril. Then, take a deep breath and blow into the nostril through
the pipe, with the other nostril and the mouth completely closed.
(6) The patient may stand up abruptly upon recovering consciousness. Keep the patient
lying calmly, giving him or her coffee, tea or any other hot drink (but not alcoholic
drink) to keep him or her warm.

(1) Lift the back part of the patient's
head. Support the forehead with one
of your hand and the neck with the
other hand.[1].
Many patients will have their airways
opened by lifting their head in this
way to ease mouth-to-mouth artificial
respiration.
(2) Closing the patient's mouth with your
mouth, press your cheek against the
patient's nose [2].
Alternatively, hold the patient's nose
with your finger to prevent air leak
 [3].
(3) Blowing air into the patient's lungs.
Blow air into the patient's lungs until
chest is seen to rise. The first 10
breaths must be blown as fast as
possible.
