.ЁЯлБ Why We Use Artificial Respiration Devices Instead of Mouth-to-Mouth in CPR тАУ A Must-Know for Healthcare Students & Volunteers
As you step into the world of emergency care, it's important to understand why CPR practices are evolving:
ЁЯФ╕ Safety First: Mouth-to-mouth carries a risk of infection. Devices like pocket masks or bag-valve masks protect both you and the patient.
ЁЯФ╕ More Effective: These tools deliver better oxygenation and allow rescuers to maintain continuous, high-quality chest compressions.
ЁЯФ╕ Real-World Practice: In hospitals, ambulances, and even trained community settings, mouth-to-mouth is rarely used anymore. Knowing how to use artificial ventilation tools prepares you for real-life situations.
ЁЯФ╕ Modern Guidelines: Current CPR guidelines focus on compressions first, and recommend ventilation through barrier devices whenever possible.
If you're training in CPR or volunteering in health camps, make sure youтАЩre not just learning mouth-to-mouthтАФbut also how to use pocket masks, BVMs, and maintain chest recoil properly.
