When Pulse Is Beating But Breathing Has Stopped - JRC JMA-2343 Instruction Manual

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ When pulse is beating but breathing has stopped
(1) Tilt the victim's head back as far as this face looks back. (A pillow may be inserted under his
neck.)
(2) Push his jaw upward to open his throat wide (to spread his airway).
(3) Pinch the victim's nostrils and take a deep breath, block his mouth completely with yours
and blow into his mouth strongly. Take a deep breath again and blow into his mouth.
Continue this 10 to 15 times a minute (blocking his nostrils).
(4) Carefully watch that he has recovered his natural breathing and stop practicing artificial
respiration.
(5) If it is difficult to open the victim's mouth, insert a rubber or vinyl tube into one of his
nostrils and blow into it blocking the other nostril and his mouth completely.
(6) When the victim recovers consciousness, he may try to stand up suddenly, but let him lie
calmly and serve him with a cup of hot coffee or tea to keep him warm and quiet. (Never give
him alcoholic drinks.)

Fig.1 Mouth-to-mouth respiration
(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.
