For rescue breaths to be effective, it is paramount that the airway is clear. In rare cases where the patient vomits, simply tilt them on their side and sweep a gloved finger in the mouth to clear the vomit.
It is important to remember that you should never put yourself at risk during a first aid emergency situation. If you feel uncomfortable about doing mouth to mouth with a vomit-covered mouth, you have the right to not do so. Once again, this comes to remembering to use a face shield when doing CPR and making sure the airway is clear before commencing.
There is a difference between having vomit in your mouth and literally vomiting it out. If the patient literally vomits it out, then CPR will not be needed as it shows that their signs of life are present.
Other causes of vomit include alcohol overdose and poisoning.
