It's kind of hard to tell exactly what you mean by your question but I will give it a shot. Rescue breaths refer to the first two breaths given when finding a person that is both pulseless and apneic (not breathing). when you find a person who appears unconcious you should assess to see if they have a pulse either on their wrist for a peripheral pulse or on the side of their neck for a carotid pulse. if they have a pulse do not start CPR! next move their head slightly back in a maneuver called a head tilt chin lift and bring your head close to their mouth. When you've done this you look, listen, and feel for breathing. meaning you first look to see if their chest is rising and falling, listen to hear if they have air coming out of their mouth,and see if you can feel that breath on your face. If the are not breathing and do not have a pulse you give two quick rescue breaths. i would advise you if interested to start carrying a rescue mask of some kind rather than mouth to mouth. give one breath over a period of about one second and look to make sure the chest is rising and falling when you are doing it. I really hope thisis what you were looking for.

Describe the recovery position of CPR?
When a person is unconscious (but breathing and pulse are present) they can be placed in the recovery position. There are a few aims for this, they are:1. It is a comfortable position for the patient.2. The airway can remain open (making breathing possible).3. Any vomit can be drained from the mouth (the person will not choke on his/her vomit).4. The person can not fall (as he/she is already on the floor).5. There is room for the chest to rise and fall during breathing.

Recovery position - series?
Procedure, part 1If the victim is breathing and in no need of chest compressions and CPR, the victim should be placed in the recovery position. The recovery position helps keep the victim's airway open. To put the victim in the recovery position grab the victim's leg and shoulder and roll him or her towards you.Procedure, part 2Continue to roll the victim until he is on his side.Procedure, part 3Adjust the top leg so that both the hip and knee are bent at right angles. Gently tilt the head back to keep the airway open. Keep the person warm until medical help is obtained. If breathing or circulation stops at any time, roll the person back on to his or her back and begin CPR.Reviewed ByReview Date: 07/16/2011Jacob L.
