The two preferred methods to administer mouth-to-mouth are the head-tilt/chin lift method and the jaw thrust method. A third method called the head-tilt/neck-lift is not recommended any longer because of the potential for spinal cord injuries.

Common causes of mouth to mouth breathing failures?

The most common causes of mouth-to-mouth breathing failure is improper patient positioning due to obstruction of the airway. If the victim is an adult whom has absolutely positively not suffered a neck injury, they should be flat on their back, the head should be tilted way back, with chin lifted. One of the very important steps to CPR are to look, listen and feel after giving two breaths. If you do not see the chest rise as you give your two breaths, you must reposition the patients head. If there is even a slight chance of neck injury you MUST NOT tilt the head back. Place your fingers under the corner of the persons jaw and lift ONLY the chin, any movement of the neck can cause further damage to the spinal chord and possible paralytic complications. For a baby, tilt the head back into the "sniffing position", that is head tilted back, but not all the way back. In an infant it is important to look for the rising of the chest as you give your two breaths, but to be careful not to be too forceful with your breaths, that could push air into the stomach and that's not good. Always carry you mask with you. Know the locations of the nearest AED, and remember to roll the victim onto their side in the recovery position after they have recovered.
