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.
What else can I help you with?
Do you turn a person onto their side when unconscious?
Yes, after ensuring the patient is breathing and their airway and mouth is clear of obstructions (such as dentures), then the patient should be turned on their side and placed in the recovery position.
What types of person should not be put into the recovery position?
Do not put a person with a suspected neck or back injury in the recovery position.
What are the steps for providing fainting first aid to someone who has lost consciousness?
Check for danger and ensure the area is safe. Check the person's airway, breathing, and pulse. If the person is breathing and has a pulse, place them in a recovery position. If the person is not breathing or does not have a pulse, call emergency services and begin CPR. Stay with the person until help arrives.
What are three ways to tell if a person is breathing?
Feel their pulse, listen for breathing, and look for their chest moving.
What is the first aid to give when a person has eaten pills by mistake and has dropped breathing and there is rapid beating of heart?
Put them carefully in the 'recovery position' and call the emergency services. 911 in the US or 999 in the UK
What can you do to prevent a vomiting person From chocking?
To prevent a vomiting person from choking, help them into a side-lying position, which allows the vomit to drain out of their mouth and reduces the risk of aspiration. If they are unconscious but breathing, place them in the recovery position—lying on their side with their head tilted slightly downward. Monitor their breathing and be prepared to call for medical assistance if necessary. Always ensure their airways remain clear and unobstructed.
When moving a breathing person into a recovery position what do you do?
make sure the body is on its back so airwaves are open, then lift the right hand so it is straight above the head. then hold the left hand down on face and bend the left knee. gently push the knee to the right until body naturally 'flops' over.
What is the first thing you should do when you come upon someone unconscious?
Check for responsiveness by gently shaking and calling out to the person. If they do not respond, call emergency services immediately and check for breathing and a pulse. Then, carefully place the person in the recovery position while waiting for help to arrive.
When should recovery position be used?
Someone should be put into recovery position when either they have thrown up or is going to throw up. The recovery position prevents the person from choking on their own vomit. Recovery position should not be used if the victim has a spinal injury as paralysis could result.
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.
An appropriate treatment for heat exhaustion?
Re-hydration, cooling, and getting the person into a comfortable position (not always the recovery position!)
If a person is lying in a lateral recumbent position heshe is?
A person in a lateral recumbent position is lying on their side. This position can be either left or right lateral recumbent, depending on which side the person is lying on. It is often used in medical settings for patient comfort, to aid in breathing, or to prevent aspiration. Additionally, this position is commonly used in first aid for unconscious patients who are breathing.
