This document provides instructions for performing manual cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and lists causes of respiratory failure that may require CPR, including drowning, electrocution, anesthesia, carbon monoxide poisoning, polio, myasthenia gravis, and certain drugs. It describes how to perform manual CPR by placing the patient supine, clearing the airway, extending the neck, exhaling forcefully into the mouth and nostrils, and repeating at a rate of 10-15 breaths per minute until normal breathing resumes or the patient can be transferred to a hospital.

2.  When the lung stop’s functioning (or) sudden
stoppage of breathing ..

3.  Drowning
 Electrocution
 Anesthesia
 CO poisoning
 Poliomyelitis
 Myasthenia gravis
 Drugs

4.  Manual
 Mechanical

5.  Put the patient in supine position
 Clear airway
 Extend the neck
 Close the nostrils
 Apply your mouth to subject and exhale
forcefully
 Look for chest expansion and abd distention
 Repeat at the rate of 10 – 15 /min

8.  Volume of air must be twice as normal tidal
volume
 Expiration occurs passively
 Should be continued till patient starts
breathing normally or shifted to hospital .

9.  Effective because of Co2 of expired air
 Contains 16% of O2
 Simple , effective , and useful in all age
groups
 Only manual technique able to produce
adequate ventilation

11.  Tank respirators (Iron lung machine)
 Ventilators
