normal breathing sound,Feel for the person breath on your cheek & ear.
-if patient isn't breathing normally, start mouth-to-mouth breathing.
-if patient is unconscious, directly perform chest compression.
4. Breath for the patient
-with the airway open(use head tilt,chin lift),pinch the nostril give mouth-to-mouth breathing.
-Give 2 rescue breath; give the 1st rescue breath & look if the chest rises.if does not a rise,give the 2nd

-use your upper body weight as you push straight on the chest 2 inches.push hard as a rate of 30 compression
-after finish 30 compression, check for the carotid pulse.
-if there has a pulse but no breathing, just give rescue breathing.if there are no pulse & breathing, give 2
rescue breathing with 30 compression till there are sign of movement or emergency medical personnel take
over.
