You should always check the scene before entering. There could be a gas leak or other toxic chemicals in the air which caused the victim to become unconscious. You should also make sure there is no fire, or other life threatening circumstance's. Once you have checked the scene to make sure it is safe you should always wear and use protective equipment, such as gloves, goggles, scrubs, and resuscitation masks or shields. Be sure to wear or use these to protect yourself from viruses, and deceases.

∙ 14y agoAssuming the first aid provider knows how to give ventilations, if they don't go in re-position the head and try to ventilate again. If breaths still don't go in, perform unconscious choking technique.
It depends on the reason: if the mouth has sustained trauma (i.e. if it is bleeding), breaths can be given through the nose if the mouth is closed. However if for some reason no ventilation is not working and you are performing CPR, just continue giving chest compressions.
Chest compressions are a lot more helpful to the patient during CPR than giving breaths, especially in the first few minutes when the patient already has some oxygen still remaining in the body
