Life and Resuscitation - ABC
(i) Airway : If the victim has difficulty breathing, the head should be held in a backward sloping position or the chin should be raised so that the respiratory passage remains open.
(ii) Breathing : If breathing has stopped, the victim should be given artificial ventilation by mouth to mouth resuscitation.
(iii) Circulation : If the victim is unconscious, then after giving mouth to mouth respiration twice, the heart should by pressed down hard by pressing the chest with both the palms. These two actions should be repeated alternately about 15 times. This is called cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). It helps to bring the circulation back to normal.
