1. ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION
DR. CHIRAG SOLANKI

2. DEFINITION
 A procedure used to restore or
maintain respiration in a person who
has stopped breathing. The method
uses mechanical or manual means to
force air into and out of the lungs in a
rhythmic fashion.
 It is methods of restarting breathing
after it has stopped, by manual
rhythmic pressure on the chest.

3. CONTI….
 It is achieved through manual
insufflations of the lungs either by the
rescuer blowing into the patient's
lungs, or by using a mechanical
device.
 'rescue breaths' or 'ventilations', is the
act of mechanically forcing air into a
patient's respiratory system. This can
be achieved via a number of methods,
which will depend on the situation and
equipment available.

4. INDICATION
 Drowning
 choking
 strangulation
 suffocation
 Gas and smoke inhalation
 Carbon monoxide poisoning
 electric shock
 Respiratory paralysis

5. METHODS
 Mouth to mouth - This involves the
rescuer making a seal between their
mouth and the patient's mouth and
'blowing', to pass air into the patient's
body.
 Mouth to nose - In some instances, the
rescuer may need or wish to form a seal
with the patient's nose. Typical reasons
for this include maxillofacial injuries,
performing the procedure in water or the
remains of vomit in the mouth

6. MOUTH TO MOUTH
BREATHING

7.  Mouth to mouth and nose - Used on
infants (usually up to around 1 year
old), as this forms the most effective
seal.
 Mouth to mask – the use of some
sort of barrier between rescuer and
patient to reduce cross infection risk.
One popular type is the 'pocket mask'.

8. METHODS
 Bag valve mask (BVM) - This is a
simple device manually operated by
the rescuer, which involves squeezing
a bag to expel air into the patient.
 These barriers should provide a one-
way filter valve which lets the air from
the rescuer deliver to the patient while
any substances from the patient (e.g.
vomit, blood) cannot reach the
rescuer.

9. CPR MASK

10.  The rescuer breathes 12 times each
minute (15 times for a child and 20 for
an infant) into the victim’s mouth.
 Breathing into the subject should be
continued until natural breathing
resumes .

12. Silvester method
 It is a method of artificial respiration in
which the subject is laid on his or her
back and air is expelled from the lungs
by pressing the arms over the chest
and fresh air drawn in by pulling them
above the head

14. Holger – Nielsen method
 Push: “Drowning Victim” is placed prone,
elbows bent, arms under head, one hand
upon the other, cheek in her hands.
Operator kneels on one knee at her
head, puts opposite foot near one elbow
(1). He places his hands on her back
with thumbs just touching and his hands
just below a line running between her
armpits. He rocks forward (2), elbows
straight, until his arms are almost
vertical, exerting pressure upon her
back.

15.  Pull: Operator then begins rocking
backwards slowly (3), sliding his
hands to her arms just above the
elbows. He raises her arms until
resistance and tension are felt at
her shoulders (4). Then he puts her
arms back down. This completes the
full cycle of Nielsen’s artificial-
respiration method.

19. Schaefer's method
 Patient prone with forehead on one of
his arms: straddle across patient with
knees on either side of his hips, and
press with both hands firmly upon the
back over the lower ribs; then raise
your body slowly, at the same time
relaxing the pressure with your hands.
Repeat this forward and backward
movement about every five seconds.

20. Schaefer's method

21. EVE(ROCKING) METHOD
Artificial respiration by seesawing the
victim head up and head down on a
stretcher so that the alternating
pressure and release of pressure of
the abdominal organs against the
diaphragm promotes expiration and
inspiration.

22. Emerson's method
 Emerson's idea is to lift the patient's
hips off the ground at regular intervals,
thus lowering his diaphragm and
making him breathe in. Exhalation
follows naturally when the hips come
on the ground.
