A
- Shake the casualty gently by the shoulders and shout ‘can you hear me?’

27
What are the advantages of having two helpers for a casualty?
If we have two people one can do the chest compressions and one will do mouth to mouth and in that way you will get less tired.
28
Explain why mouth-to-mouth ventilation is always combined with cardiac message.
The two are combined so that the oxygen in the blood as well Cardiac Massage is a procedure of compressing the heart so that blood is forced out of it and round the body. It should be united with mouth-to-mouth ventilation so that the blood gets oxygen as well.
29
Why is the recovery position a safe position for an unconscious breathing person
The recovery position works because the person tongue can’t get stuck in their throat and they are then not able to breath. Putting someone in the recovery position will keep their airway clear and open.
