As you administer each rescue breath look at their chest as you breathe in. You should see the chest rise if properly done. Remember to do a head-tilt-chin-lift if you do not suspect a head, neck or spinal injury and firmly pinch the nose closed. Breathe in only enough air to make the chest start to rise. If you breathe in too much it can cause air to go into the stomach resulting in vomiting.

When ventilating an unconscious victim what to do?

When ventilating an unconscious victim, ensure the airway is clear by tilting the head back and lifting the chin to open the airway. Administer breaths using a bag-mask device, if available, or by sealing your mouth over the victim's mouth and giving rescue breaths, ensuring each breath lasts about one second and makes the chest rise. Continue this process at a rate of about 10 to 12 breaths per minute until help arrives or the victim starts breathing on their own. Always ensure to check for responsiveness and breathing regularly.
