rescue breaths

**Rescue Breaths**

Rescue breaths are a critical component of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) used to provide oxygen to a person who is not breathing or whose breathing is inadequate. By delivering controlled breaths into the victim’s airway, rescue breaths help maintain oxygen flow to vital organs, buying time until professional medical help arrives. This technique is commonly taught in first aid and CPR courses and is essential for effective emergency response in situations such as drowning, choking, or cardiac arrest. Proper execution of rescue breaths can significantly improve a victim’s chances of survival and recovery.
