Mouth-to-Mouth Resuscitation

Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation is an emergency technique used to help someone who isn’t breathing. It involves pinching the person's nose shut, opening their mouth wide, and blowing air into their lungs to provide oxygen. This helps keep their brain and organs supplied with oxygen until normal breathing resumes or professional help arrives. It's important to perform this carefully and steadily, watching for chest rise, and to continue until the person starts breathing normally or emergency services take over. Proper training is recommended to perform this technique safely and effectively.
