RESUSITATION
    --------------------------------------------------------

  If the casualty is not breathing and the heart is not beating, 
  it is vital that you take over respiration and circulation, so 
  that the flow of oxygen to the brain is maintained.

      Remember your A B C's.
      ----------------------
 
  First, ensure an open AIRWAY. Second, BREATHE for the casualty by 
  inflating the lungs and oxygenating the blood (Artificial Ventilation)
  Third, CIRCULATE the blood by compressing the chest,
  (External Chest Compression).
 
      OPENING THE AIRWAY
     --------------------
 
  If the casualty is unconscious the airway may be narrowed or blocked, 
  making breathing difficult or impossible. This occurs for several 
  reasons.

  The head may be tilt forward narrowing the air passage; muscular control 
  in the throat will be lost, which may allow the tongue to slip back and
  block the air passage.

  As a result, saliva or vomit may lie at the back of the throat blocking 
  the airway. Any of these situations can lead to the death of the 
  casualty so it is imperative that you establish a clear airway 
  immediately.

  With an open airway, the casualty may begin breathing spontaneously. If 
  the casualty does begin breathing, place in the Recovery Position.
  If the casualty still does not breathe, you will have to begin 
  resusitation.
