Step 5. How to give a rescue breath

- Ensure the casualty’s airway is open.

- Pinch their nose firmly closed.

- Take a deep breath and seal your lips around their mouth.

- Blow into the mouth until the chest rises.

- Remove your mouth and allow the chest to fall.

- Repeat once more.

Carry on giving 30 chest compressions followed by two rescue breaths for as long as you can, or until help arrives.

If the casualty starts breathing normally again, stop CPR and put them in the recovery position.

FIRST AID KIT

A well-stocked first-aid kit, kept within easy reach, is a necessity in every home. Having supplies gathered ahead of time will help you handle an emergency at a moment's notice. You should keep one first-aid kit in your home and one in each car. Also be sure to bring a first-aid kit on family vacations. Store your kits in easy-to-retrieve locations that are out of the reach of the children. Check your first-aid kits regularly, at least every three months, to replace supplies that have expired.

You can purchase a ready first aid kit at the chemist’s or make one of your own. If you decide to make one, choose containers for your kits that are roomy, durable, easy to carry, and simple to open. Plastic tackle boxes or containers for storing art supplies are ideal, as they're lightweight, have handles, and offer a lot of space.

What You'll Need

Include the following in each of your first-aid kits:

- Activated charcoal (use only if instructed by your poison control center)

- Adhesive tape

- Aloe vera gel

- Antibiotic ointment

- Anti-diarrhea medication

- Antiseptic solution or towelettes

- Aspirin and nonaspirin pain relievers (never give aspirin to children)

- Bandages, including a roll of elastic wrap (Ace, Coban, others) and bandage strips (Band-Aid, Curad, others) in assorted sizes

- Calamine lotion

- Cotton balls

- Disposable latex or synthetic gloves, at least two pair

- First-aid manual

- Gauze pads

- Over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream

- Petroleum jelly or other lubricant

- Plastic bags for the disposal of contaminated materials

- Scissors and tweezers

- Soap or instant hand sanitizer

- Sterile eyewash, such as a saline solution

- Thermometer

- Triangular bandage

After you've stocked your first-aid kits:

- Read the entire first-aid manual so you'll understand how to use the contents of your kits.

- Store first-aid kits in places that are out of children's reach but easily accessible for adults.

- Check the kits regularly. Replace missing items or medicines that may have expired.

- Check the flashlight batteries to make sure they work.

- If you're flying, be sure to pack the first-aid kit in your checked luggage. Many of the items won't be permitted in your carry-on bags.
