Description: Teaches through animation and live-action re-creation of accident scenes the basic steps in applying the mouth-to-mouth method of restoring breathing to victims needing resuscitation. Step-by-step techniques for proper application of this technique are first given and in each accident case these steps are again individually emphasized. Demonstrates how rescue breathing may succeed where the armlift technique fails. Re-enacts a number of successful rescues in common accidents causing stopping of breathing such as a near drowning, electric shock, overdose of drugs, shock from an auto accident, and several cases of suffocation.
