4-Qrpno Weekly Times, Wednesday, August 8th, 1979 Rescue breathing saves lives In the 19th century, drowned men were rolled over a barrel, in the hope that water would be forced from , their lungs and breathing resume naturally. For some people the method worked. They werd the lucky ones. Today's methods for reviving drowned people are more scientific. The rate of success is much higher. In the early 20th century, the technique of "artificial respiration" gained popularity. Later came mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, dubbed the "kiss of life" by some inspired wordsmith. Today, we, speak of "rescue breathing". These name changes, however represent not only semantic differences but a process of improving methods and approaches to reviving life. Artificial respiration concentrated on removing water from the lungs by pumping the arms and pressing the ribs, à slight improvement on the barrel method. Safety authorities endorsed and taught the method widely. But as research began to underline' . the potential for brain damage resulting from oxygen deprivation, the primary objective of resuscitation resuscitation became the need to push oxygen, oxygen, into the body as quickly as possible. possible. Thus, the kiss of life was bom. But! of a thousand jokes, it was nonetheless a deadly serious attempt to restart normal breathing reflexes and rhythms. And it worked. Today's resuscitation techniques have evolved from those early begin nings. "Rescue breathing" is taught today by a number of safety agencies, agencies, among them the Canadian Red Cross Society, which teaches the techniques as an integral part of its First Aid and Water Safety courses. The modern method of rescue breathing involves first ensuring that the victim's mouth and air passage is . clear of blockage. Then, by raising the neck slightly and allowing the head to drop back, the rescuer opens a free passage for air. Pinching the victim's nostrils, the rescuer then covers the victim's mouth with his own and breathes quickly, four times, to inflate the lungs. Success can be, recognized immediately by watching the chest cavity inflate. After this first initial burst of air, the rescuer settles into a regular, rhythmic breathing of 12-15 breaths per minute, and continues until help arrives. This description is, of necessity, greatly simplified, but rescue breathing is not difficult to ' leam when taught by a qualified instructor. During the summer, Red Cross courses are held in summer camps, pools and recreation departments across the province. If you are interested in learning more about rescue breathing, you should get in touch with your nearest Red Cross branch or recreation department. Courses involve just a few hours, not a great deal of time to spare to leam to save a life. Why not learn rescue breathing and be water-wise this summer? • ••##•#•»•••• CUT OUT HERE • • • • • • • •••••• RESCUE BREATHING (MOUTH-TO-WIOUTH) THE CANADIAN 'RED CROSS SOCIETY Start immediately: The sooner you start, the greater the chance of success.
