After we've done 30 chest compressions, we need to breathe for the patient. This can be quite tricky, so it's worth practicing on a doll- ask a first aid trainer to go through it with you.

Mouth to Mouth

- Make sure the airway is still open
- Pinch the nose

Nose Pinch

- Press your mouth firmly around the patient's mouth, making a good seal

- Blow firmly out, for about one second
- Come away from the patient's mouth (otherwise you'll breath in the same breath that they've just breathed out)
- Do this twice
- If one doesn't work, pretend it has! If neither of them work, pretend that both have, and move straight back onto chest compressions.

Mouth to Nose

- This is really good for if the patient's mouth looks a bit damaged, or if your mouth is really small
- Clamp the patient's mouth shut
- Put your mouth around their nose
- Blow firmly out, for about one second
- Come away from the patient's mouth (otherwise you'll breath in the same breath that they've just breathed out)
- Do this twice
- If one doesn't work, pretend it has! If neither of them work, pretend that both have, and move straight back onto chest compressions.
