1. As soon as the victim is clear of the conductor, rapidly feel with your finger in his mouth and throat and remove any foreign body (tobacco, false teeth, etc.) Then begin artificial respiration at once. Do not stop to loosen the victim’s clothing now; every moment of delay is serious. Proceed as follows:

a. Lay the subject on his belly, with arms extended as straightforward as possible and with face to one side, so that nose and mouth are free for breathing, see Figure on page 17. Let an assistant draw forward the subject’s tongue.

INSPIRATION—PRESSURE OFF.

b. Kneel straddling the subject’s thighs and facing his head; rest the palms of your hands on the loins (on the muscles of the small of the back), with fingers spread over the lowest ribs, as in Figure on page 17.

c. With arms held straight, swing forward slowly so that the weight of your body is gradually, but not violently, brought to bear upon the subject, see Figure on page 18. This act should take from two to three seconds.

Immediately swing backward so as to remove the pressure, thus returning to the position shown in the Figure on page 17.

d. Repeat deliberately twelve to fifteen times a minute the swinging forward and back—a complete respiration in four or five seconds.

e. As soon as this artificial respiration has been started, and while it is being continued, an assistant should loosen any tight clothing about the subject’s neck, chest or waist.

EXPIRATION—PRESSURE ON.

2. Continue the artificial respiration (if necessary, at least an hour), without interruption, until natural breathing is restored, or until a physician arrives. If natural breathing stops after being restored, use artificial respiration again.

3. Do not give any liquid by mouth until the subject is fully conscious.

4. Give the subject fresh air, but keep him warm.
