Detailed explanation-1: -If the chest doesn’t rise, repeat the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver first and then give the second breath. Be careful not to provide too many breaths or to breathe with too much force. After two breaths, immediately restart chest compressions to restore blood flow.
Detailed explanation-2: -If chest does not rise with the initial rescue breath, retilt the head before giving a second breath. If the second breath does not make the chest rise, the person may be choking. After each subsequent set of chest compressions and before attempting breaths, look for an object and, if seen, remove it. Continue CPR.
Detailed explanation-3: -If the chest does not rise after the first breath, let the head go back to normal position and then re-open the airway by tilting the head and lifting the chin. Try to get a breath in while watching for chest rise. Do not interrupt compressions for any more than 10 seconds when giving breaths.
Detailed explanation-4: -So if air doesn’t go in on the first try, tilt the head down and back up again, then try another rescue breath.
Detailed explanation-5: -Chest compressions are the priority in CPR. If you can’t to do rescue breathing (mouth-to-mouth) chest compressions alone may still be life-saving. Try to minimise interruptions to chest compressions until help arrives.
