Lung ventilation Artificial Mouth to Mouth

Ventilation is a vital procedure in the medical care of respiratory arrest or cardiopulmonary failure. One method of mechanical ventilation is mouth-to-mouth ventilation, also known as expiratory ventilation.

With mouth-to-mouth expiratory ventilation, air is blown into the victim's mouth. This method is a simple and affordable way to ensure sufficient oxygen in the victim's body until more advanced medical care can be provided.

The mouth-to-mouth procedure can be performed by one or more rescuers. At the beginning of the procedure, the rescuer must ensure that the victim's airway is free of obstructions such as food or other objects. The rescuer then tilts the victim's head back to open the airway and presses cloth or gauze over the victim's mouth and nose to create some form of seal.

The rescuer then takes a deep breath and leans over the victim's mouth, pressing his mouth tightly against his mouth. The rescuer then exhales air into the victim's mouth in a slow and controlled manner. As a result, oxygen is transferred from the rescuer's lungs to the victim's lungs. Repeated inhalations and exhalations provide the victim with sufficient oxygen to maintain vital body functions.

It is important to note that mouth-to-mouth ventilation is not an ideal method of ventilation and may have its limitations and potential complications. It may not provide enough air and oxygen, especially during prolonged resuscitation. Therefore, as soon as possible, it is necessary to seek medical help and move on to more advanced methods of mechanical ventilation, such as artificial ventilation using a mask and a pulse oximeter.

In conclusion, mouth-to-mouth ventilation is a method that can be used in an emergency before medical help arrives. However, it must be remembered that this is a temporary solution and the victim should be examined and receive appropriate medical attention as soon as possible to ensure his well-being and recovery.

Ventilation is a vital first aid procedure in the event of respiratory arrest or cardiopulmonary failure. One of the methods of artificial ventilation of the lungs is expiratory ventilation "mouth to mouth", in which air is blown into the victim's mouth. This method is minimally invasive, easy to perform and can be used by a wide range of people without medical training.

The mouth-to-mouth ventilation procedure is performed as follows. Initially, you need to make sure that the victim is not breathing. The assistant should then position himself at the victim's head and lift his chin to open the airway. After this, the assistant takes a deep breath and presses his lips tightly to the victim’s lips, ensuring tight contact. The air is then exhaled into the victim's mouth, creating pressure that expands the lungs and allows them to ventilate.

Mouth-to-mouth expiratory ventilation delivers oxygen to the victim's lungs and removes carbon dioxide, helping to maintain normal gas exchange in the body. This method is especially useful in cases where access to other methods of mechanical ventilation is limited or impossible.

However, it should be noted that mouth-to-mouth ventilation has its limitations and potential problems. First, it may not be effective in cases where the victim has injury or illness to the respiratory system, such as facial trauma, bleeding from the mouth, or vomiting. In such situations, it is necessary to use alternative methods of ventilation.

In addition, mouth-to-mouth ventilation can be potentially dangerous in terms of transmission of infections. Therefore, it is important to take precautions, such as the use of barrier devices, such as special masks or artificial ventilation devices, that prevent direct contact with the victim's mouth.

In conclusion, mouth-to-mouth ventilation is one of the methods of artificial ventilation used in cases of respiratory arrest or cardiopulmonary failure. This method is relatively simple to perform, but requires the skill and knowledge of the person providing assistance. When using this method, one must be aware of its limitations and potential problems, such as ineffectiveness in certain situations and the possibility of transmitting infections. If these limitations occur, alternative methods of ventilation should be considered to ensure safety for all involved.

It is important to note that the description and use of mouth-to-mouth ventilation is provided for educational purposes and is not a substitute for medical advice or education. If first aid and mechanical ventilation are necessary, it is recommended that you contact medical professionals or trained professionals for appropriate support and instructions.
