Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, an important component of CPR, is performed by maintaining the head tilt/chin lift and making an airtight seal against the victim's mouth, shown in Figure 4. Alternatively, mouth-to-nose and mouth-to-stoma resuscitation can be performed where appropriate. This form of ventilation can be performed without chest compressions when a palpable carotid pulse is felt without evidence of respiration.
