Why must artificial respiration be given as soon as possible to a person who has stopped breathing?

Because without it, the brain cells would start dying after 8 to 10 minutes after respiration stops from lack of oxygen. By knowing CPR (Cardio-pulmonary-resuscitation) you can keep a person alive till they can get professional medical attention. Basic first aid can save someones life as well. Placing pressure on a bleeding site can save someones life. First responder courses and CPR classes are given in every township or county, some free of charge. Its a good thing to know and who knows, maybe you could save a life one day.

∙ 15y agoArtificial respiration helps to restore the stopped breathing, its also called life saving technique. Only TRAINED professionals can do this perfectly. It should be done within 3 to 6 minutes as soon as the victim becomes unconscious because of no oxygenation of blood, the skin becomes pale/bluish in color, continued by irreversible brain damage and death may occur.

First, you call for help. Dial 911 if you have a cell phone. Otherwise yell for help. Then Check circulation. Doing chest compressions to keep the heart going is more important than breathing. Better yet, take a CPR class. The procedure you describe is wrong.
