artificial respiration, any measure that
causes air to flow in and out of a
person's lungs when natural breathing
is inadequate or ceases, as in
respiratory paralysis, drowning,
electric shock, choking, gas or smoke

Bag Valve
In Drowning do not waste time trying
to "empty water out of the lungs" by
jackknifing or rolling on a barrel.
bag valve mask When the air chamber or
"bag" is squeezed, the device forces air
through into the patient's lungs; when the
bag is released, it self-inflates, drawing in
ambient air or a
low pressure oxygen flow supplied
from a regulated cylinder, whilst the
patient's lungs deflate to the air through
the one way valve
The Silvester Method of artificial respiration
in which the patient is laid on their back, and
their arms are raised above their head to aid
inhalation and then pressed against their chest
to aid exhalation.The procedure is repeated
sixteen times per minute

Drinker·s method
-iron lung chamber
In the iron lung by means of a pump, the air is
withdrawn mechanically to produce a vacuum inside
the tank, thus creating negative pressure. This
negative pressure leads to expansion of the chest,
which causes a decrease in intrapulmonary pressure
and flow of ambient air into the lungs. As the
vacuum is released, the pressure inside the tank
equalizes to that of the ambient pressure, and the
elastic coil of the chest and lungs leads to passive
exhalation.
Positive pressure machines
Positive-pressure ventilators work by
increasing the patient's airway
pressure through an endotracheal or
tracheostomy tube or tracheoHand-
controlled ventilation
High frequency ventilator
High frequency ventilation is a type of mechanical
ventilation that employs very high respiratory rates
(>150 breaths per minute) and very small tidal volumes
(usually below anatomical dead space)

neonate in mind

AIRWAY: Clear the airway
Put the person on his or her back on a firm surface.
Kneel next to the person's neck and shoulders.
Open the person's airway using the head-tilt, chin-lift
maneuver. Put your palm on the person's forehead and gently
tilt the head back. Then with the other hand, gently lift the
chin forward to open the airway.
Check for normal breathing, taking no more than five or 10
seconds: Look for chest motion, listen for breath sounds, and
feel for the person's breath on your cheek and ear. Gasping is
not considered to be normal breathing. If the person isn't
breathing normally and you are trained in CPR, begin mouth-
to-mouth breathing. If you believe the person is unconscious
from a heart attack and you haven't been trained in
emergency procedures, skip mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing
and proceed directly to chest compression
BREATHING:
With the airway open (using the head-tilt, chin-lift
maneuver) pinch the nostrils shut for mouth-to-mouth
breathing and cover the person's mouth with yours,
making a seal.
