Why i must give the victim anything by mouth?
I assume you are speaking of CPR. In which case, you don't really have to do the mouth-to-mouth part. It is much more beneficial for the person if you just continue to do the chest compressions non-stop. If there are others around, one person should do the chest compressions and the other should do the mouth-to-mouth. Otherwise, just stick to only chest compressions.
