The two preferred methods to administer mouth-to-mouth are the head-tilt/chin lift method and the jaw thrust method. A third method called the head-tilt/neck-lift is not recommended any longer because of the potential for spinal cord injuries.

∙ 14y agoFor an adult:
"If No Breathing is found, Give 2 Breaths to ENOUGH TO MAKE THE CHEST RISE. If the chest does not rise, reposition the airway to the proper position and attempt to provide another breath to the patient again. Do this only once and then move on.
If Breathing is found, place the patient in the HAINES Recovery Position If You Do Not Wish to or Cannot Give Breaths to the Patient, You May Do Compression Only CPR.
Differences for a child:
"Give the child a big enough breath to make the chest rise, but keep in mind that this will be about 1/2 the volume of an adult breath."
Differences for an infant:
"Cover the infant's mouth and nose to provide breaths. Only blow as much air as you can hold in your cheeks into the baby; do not give a normal/full adult breath because it can cause severe damage to the infants lungs."
"Here are some things to consider when providing a patient CPR. The patient may vomit because of air getting into stomach with ventilations. This problem can be minimized by providing each breath over 1 second, and not ventilating too fast."

∙ 11y agoMouth to mouth refers to the technical term 'rescue breaths' which are used during CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation). The correct way to deliver rescue breaths is to have the person laying on their back on the floor, from here you should use the 'head tilt, chin lift; procedure:
Tilt the head back to open the airway, and then lift the chin/open the mouth so that you can deliver the rescue breaths.
From here you should make a tight seal around the persons mouth and at the same time pinch the persons nose; and then gently blow air into the mouth.
This is normally done 2 times after a sequence of 30 chest compressions (30/2).

Common causes of mouth to mouth breathing failures?
The most common causes of mouth-to-mouth breathing failure is improper patient positioning due to obstruction of the airway. If the victim is an adult whom has absolutely positively not suffered a neck injury, they should be flat on their back, the head should be tilted way back, with chin lifted. One of the very important steps to CPR are to look, listen and feel after giving two breaths. If you do not see the chest rise as you give your two breaths, you must reposition the patients head. If there is even a slight chance of neck injury you MUST NOT tilt the head back. Place your fingers under the corner of the persons jaw and lift ONLY the chin, any movement of the neck can cause further damage to the spinal chord and possible paralytic complications. For a baby, tilt the head back into the "sniffing position", that is head tilted back, but not all the way back. In an infant it is important to look for the rising of the chest as you give your two breaths, but to be careful not to be too forceful with your breaths, that could push air into the stomach and that's not good. Always carry you mask with you. Know the locations of the nearest AED, and remember to roll the victim onto their side in the recovery position after they have recovered.
