What does it mean if the chest does not rise when blowing air into the mouth during CPR?

Generally that you are not getting air into the victim's lungs. Either the airway is blocked, or you do not have the victim's head positioned correctly. Provided there is no neck injury, reposition the head and make certain the airway is clear. The newest protocols for CPR, however, put more emphasis on the chest compressions. If the heart isn't pumping, the blood is not flowing, and if the blood is not flowing it doesn't matter how much air you get into the lungs.
