•Next, you check the if the casualty is breathing by Look, Look, Listening and Feeling for a breath for 10 seconds. You do this by placing your cheek above the casualties mouth and you look to see if the chest is rising and falling, you listen to see if you can hear the casualties breath and you try to feel their breath on your cheek.
Check Airway
If the casualty is not breathing, you then must Give Two Rescue Breaths to the casualty . You do this by forming a tight seal with your mouth around their mouth. You pinch the nose and breath into the casualty. When you do this make sure the chest rises, and that you don't breath to hard as this can force air into their stomach which can cause them to vomit. Make sure you remove your lips between rescue breaths so the casualty can allow the air to escape.
