Airway Rescue

Medical research film that illustrates the success rate of various resuscitation methods, including back-pressure arm-lift artificial respiration, mouth to mouth resuscitation and use of resuscitation equipment. The film concludes that positive pressure breathing may overcome partial upper airway obstruction in the unconscious person. More importantly, the film concludes that back-pressure arm-lift and chest-pressure arm-lift artificial respiration techniques prove unreliable, while mouth to mouth resuscitation is a more successful method that can provide re-oxygenation in seconds. Film begins Abruptly. Exact date and credits are unknown.
