Method of mouth-to-mouth respiration by raising head

Fig. 1 Mouth-to mouth respiration
FIRST-AID TREATMENTS
(1) Raise the victim's head. Support his
forehead with one of your hand and his
neck with the other hand. →①
When you tilt his head backward, the
victim, in most cases, opens his mouth to
the air. This makes mouth-to mouth
respiration easy.
(2) Cover his mouth as widely as possible with
yours and press your cheek against
his nose→②
Or, pinch his nostrils with your fingers to
prevent air from leaking. →③
(3) Blow into his lungs. Continue blowing into
his mouth until his breast swells.
Blow into his mouth as quickly as
possible for the first 10 times.
