breathing hard
 Laerdal Pocket Mask with O2 Inlet and Head Strap with Gloves and Wipe in Yellow Hard Case $19.00 The 02 inlet provides extra oxygen (without it, you exhale mostly carbon dioxide) and so it gives your rescue victim a better chance that all that heart massage you will also likely be providing will actually circulate oxygen rather than nothing. Am I nuts to spend extra money helping a victim who is unlikely to ever pay me back for expending this thing to save his life? Well, I decided that if I am going to do mouth to mouth, it's because I want the person to live and so I may as well spend the extra $5 to give that person the very best chance I can give them. Let's hope I never have to come back and tell you if it worked! |
