Shock is a very serious, emergency situation, which might arise from many different causes. Improving circulation is vital for shock victims; standard body position with legs elevated, prevention the loss of body heat, and (depending on medical opinion), the use of compression/anti-shock garment, (which redirect blood from the lower extremities into the central circulation), might be considered.

When beginning mouth to mouth respiration you should start with?
When beginning mouth to mouth respiration, you should start by assessing the victim with the ABC's (Airway-tilting the victim's head back to ensure open airway, Breathing-make sure that the victim's chest is going up and down that means the victim is breathing, Circulation- check the victim's pulse) If the victim is not breathing, skip checking the pulse and start CPR. First, give the victim two breaths. Breath in and out when giving the breaths just as you would when you breath regularly. Then, start giving the victim CPR pumps or whatever you call it when you pump the victim's chest. This is all I can tell you- I am a lifeguard and if you want to know all about CPR you need to be properly taught. :)
