  Rescue breathing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rescue Breathing is a specific first aid protocol which refers to the delivery of air from a person (the rescuer) into a patient.
There are several informal terms for rescue breathing, such as "the kiss of life".

 Rescue Breathing   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Rescue Breathing is the method by which a rescuer breathes for a casualty who is not breathing.
Rescue breaths must be effective, and are considered effective if the chest rises and falls with each breath given by the rescuer.
The method used for infants is ‘frog breathing’ or ‘puffing’, where the rescuer fills his or her mouth with air and ‘puffs’ it into the infant’s mouth.

 Mouth-To-Mouth Rescue Breathing
The rescuer administers rescue breathing by the conventional techniques by positioning himself alongside the victim's head and opening the victim's airway using the head-tilt/chin-lift maneuver.
The use of this mask allows the rescuer to provide rescue breathing alone, or in combination with chest compressions in the performance of CPR, and may be used during both single rescuer and team-rescue CPR.
The rescuer does not have to make direct mouth-to-mouth contact with the victim; the rescuer does not inhale the victim's exhaled air; and saliva is not exchanged between the victim and the rescuer.

The rescuer then presses down forcefully and rhythmically onto the sternum for a count of 15 compressions (at a rate of 80-90 compressions per minute), before going back to the rescue breathing cycle, and checking carotid pulse.
