Visit a doctor. Find out about artificial respiration. Ask the doctor:(a) When does a person need artificial respiration?
(b) Does the person need to be kept on artificial respiration temporarily or permanently?
(c) From where can the person get a supply of oxygen for artificial respiration?
(a) A person requires artificial respiration during acute breathing problems. Under conditions when a person is not able to breathe normally, an artificial method of respiration is usually practiced.
(b) Artificial respiration is provided to the patient temporarily till the person solves their breathing problems.
The artificial respiration method is provided permanently to patients who are in a coma and not able to breathe on their own.
(c) During artificial respiration, oxygen-filled cylinders are attached to the machines that provide oxygen to the patient for breathing.
[Extra information:
When natural breathing stops or falters, artificial respiration is induced. If used immediately and appropriately, these strategies can avoid drowning, choking, strangulation, suffocation, carbon monoxide poisoning, and electric shock.
Resuscitation (chest compressions) by inducing artificial respiration consists of two actions:
(1) maintaining an open-air passage from the upper respiratory tract to the lungs and
(2) exchanging air and carbon dioxide in the terminal air sacs of the lungs while the heart is still functioning.
Artificial respiration once involved applying an external force to the lungs. The researchers developed measures to circumvent obstruction, such as raising the chin, and demonstrated that mouth-to-mouth breathing provided more air per respiratory cycle than other methods (tidal volume). Soon after, mouth-to-mouth breathing became the most common method.
The person utilizing mouth-to-mouth breathing places the victim on his back, clears the mouth of foreign material and mucus, pushes the lower jaw forward and upward to open the air path, and places his own mouth over the victim's mouth to create a leak-proof seal. The rescuer alternately breathes into the victim's mouth and elevates his own to allow exhalation. Rescuers may cover a child's mouth and nose. The rescuer breathes into the victim's mouth 12 times per minute (15 for a toddler, 20 for a newborn).
In 2008, after studies found that mouth-to-mouth resuscitation often slowed or stopped circulation, the American Heart Association recommended a hands-only approach for adult victims.]
