Arm Lift Chest Pressure Method Salvessko's method of artificial respiration is also acknowledged method of artificial respiration, whose aim is to increase intrathoracic pressure. To Do: Keep coasts stable and neck relaxed. Raise the patient's head slightly. The will help pull air into the lungs. Keeping back flat, raise arms up for 8 seconds. Inspiration occurs. Relaxation for 8 seconds. Expiration occurs. Inspiration and expiration, continue alternately. Repeat 12-20 times per minute. **Holgers-Nielsen's Method (Arm Lift Back Pressure)** * This is also in prone position. * First aider kneels near patient's head, facing towards him. * First aider pulls his arms up. This will bring about inspiration. * Bending backward expiration. * The first aider will leave his hands on sides and put his palms flat and behind the patient's back. He will apply deep pressure on the chest. This will cause expiration. * Artificial respiration should be done at the site of accident and continue till the person is shifted to the hospital. * The patient should be breathing on his own. Immediately shift the patient to hospital. * Mouth to mouth breathing should be done by closing the patient's nose. * Blowing air into the mouth should be gentle and steady. * The patient's chest should rise and fall with each breath. * Artificial respiration should be continued till the patient regains natural respiration. * Artificial respiration should be done by keeping the patient's head tilted backward. * In case of drowning, artificial respiration should be given immediately. * Artificial respiration should be done by keeping the patient's head tilted backward. * In case of drowning, artificial respiration should be given immediately.
