HOSPITAL

BREATHING CHECK

Ø  Keeping the airway open, the rescuer tries to determine if the victim is breathing normally using the "PAS" method.

Ø  Look at the expansions of the chest

Ø  Listen to the sound of breathing

Ø  Feel the exhaled air on your cheek

Ø  All this should not last more than 10 sec. after which you decide whether the patient is breathing or not.

IF THE VICTIM IS BREATHING NORMALLY

Ø  Place the victim in the lateral safety position

Ø  Request specialized crew - 112

Ø  Periodically reassess the victim's condition
