What is the correct method of artificial respiration

We all know that when a patient faints and needs help, artificial respiration is inevitable, but not everyone can do it. This seemingly simple treatment method can easily cause the patient to lose his life if it is not mastered well. However, if the skills are mastered well, it can not only bring the patient back to life, but also reduce the risk. So how do you master the correct artificial respiration method?

Before performing mouth-to-mouth breathing, quickly clean the dirt and vomit in the patient's mouth and nose, and remove any dentures to keep the airway open. At the same time, loosen their collar, belt, tight underwear, bra, etc. to avoid hindering the respiratory movement of the chest.

Place the patient in a supine position with the head tilted back to maintain an open airway. The rescuer kneels on one side, holds up the patient's jaw with one hand, then takes a deep breath, and then closes the patient's mouth and blows air into it tightly, causing the patient to inhale. To prevent the blown-in air from escaping from the patient's nostrils, you can pinch the patient's nostrils with your other hand. After blowing the air, the rescuer's mouth moves away, and the hand pinching the nose is also released. Use one hand to press the patient's chest to help the patient expel the gas. Repeat this process of blowing air rhythmically, 16 to 20 times per minute, until the patient recovers spontaneous breathing or is confirmed dead.

Correct artificial respiration method

If the injured person's jaws are clenched and he cannot open his mouth, making mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration impossible, mouth-to-nose breathing can be used, using the same method as mouth-to-mouth breathing.

How much force is appropriate when blowing? If the person being rescued is a child or a weak person, the force of the air blow should be smaller, otherwise it should be larger. Generally, the degree of dryness is determined when the patient's chest slightly bulges after air is insufflated. If the chest does not rise and fall after blowing, it may be that the blowing force is too weak or the airway is blocked. Then you should check again.

Mouth-to-mouth blowing and external cardiac compression should be performed simultaneously.

Precautions

?The first is "fear". The object of blowing is the injured, the sick and sometimes even the dead. For example, the appearance after being struck by lightning may be a bit horrible. The second is embarrassment, especially when the person being rescued is a young person of the opposite sex. If the rescue is not successful, others may gossip about you. To perform artificial respiration well, you must overcome these psychological factors.
