Correct answer
Ventilatory support
Ventilatory support (or mouth-to-mouth) must be performed correctly to be effective, and every effort should be made to ensure that the injured person’s tongue does not obstruct the airway. Air is inhaled and, with the rescuer’s mouth placed over the casualty’s mouth, approximately 10 insufflations per minute are given.
