Lay the patient on his back with his arms parallel to his body; if the patient lies on an
inclined plane, please make sure that his stomach be slightly lower than his breast.
Open the patient's mouth and check if there are foreign bodies. Kneel down near the
patient at the same level as his head's, put one of your hands under his head and the
other one under his neck. Lift the patient's neck and let his head fall backwards the
most possible.
Shift your hand from the patient's neck to his chin; put your thumb between his chin
and his mouth, your forefinger along his jawbone, keep your other fingers tight. By
doing these operations start the self-oxygenation by means of deep breathings in
standing open-mouthed. With your thumb between the patient's chin and his mouth,
keep the patient's lips closed and blow into his nasal cavities.
During these operations see if the patient's breast rises. If it is not so, his nose may be
obstructed; in this case, by levering on his chin with your hand, open the patient's
mouth, put your lips on and blow into his oral cavity. Look at the patient's breast and
see if it rises. One can use this second method instead of the first one also if the
patient's nose is not obstructed, provided that his nose be occluded by squeezing his
nostrils with your hand after shifting it from his head. The patient's head must be kept
bent backwards the most possible.
Start with ten fast and deep expirations, then go on at the rhythm of twelve/fifteen expirations per minute.
Continue as long as the patient has recovered consciousness, or a doctor has ascertained his death.
