The second is to place the injured person in a ventilated place. Must follow the "three fast" principle of quick grab, fast rescue, fast delivery.
- Mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration: the most effective and rapid method, should be performed immediately after the airway is unobstructed. Under normal circumstances, the patient's breathing will recover quickly, unless they are shocked, poisoned, and poisoned with carbon monoxide. In these cases, nerves and muscles are paralyzed, or carbon monoxide replaces oxygen in the blood. Be prepared for a long time.
- Open airway: Lay the patient on his back on a flat, hard floor, press the patient's forehead with one hand, and lift the mandibular part of the patient with the other hand, making his head tilt back. Squeeze the nostril with one hand, check the mouth and throat for obstructions, cover the patient's mouth with an open mouth, and give artificial respiration twice.
- When you give the patient artificial respiration, pay attention to the undulations of the thorax. If there is no thoracic undulations, you need to reopen the airway, and then re- give artificial respiration.
- Normal breathing can be given by artificial respiration, to avoid reflux of stomach contents caused by excessive ventilation.
- Mouth-to-nose: For whatever reason, if you can't do the previous method, you can seal the patient's mouth and use artificial mouth-to-nose breathing. For babies, you can cover his mouth and nose with his mouth.
- The first five minutes may be the most critical, but if the patient is still not breathing, artificial respiration should last at least 1 hour, and the team members can replace it. Also check if the heartbeat is normal.

- Head and chest injuries. If it is a transverse injury, you can adopt the posture of lying on your back and knees. If it is a direct injury, you should adopt the position of lying on your back. For those with unconsciousness but normal breathing, a reversion posture can be adopted. Shock patients should lie flat and raise their lower limbs 20-30 cm.
