Question: Question about mouth to mouth, CPR!?
Ok this is a really strange question but!.!. during the mouth to mouth portion of CPR!.!. if we breathe oxygen and release carbon dioxide, aren't we just filling the victim's lungs with carbon dioxide!? How does that help!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
yes you are breathing carbon dioxide into the victim but you are also breathing about 10 percent oxygen into the victim which is better than 0, if you have a mask which i would only use, you can hook up oxygen tanks into it so you get more oxygen into the victim!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

When you breathe into someone lungs, you are not giving them life saving air, you are expanding the person's lungs so they may start on their own!. Compressing of the heart does the same thing, if things are working out, the heart will start beating on it's own by your pushing down on it!. Hope this answers your question!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, we are exhaling carbon dioxide but we are also releasing some oxygen back into the air!. The mouth to mouth gives enough oxygen presence to not rob the brain of oxygen it needs to survive!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
