If the chest does not rise, reposition the head and neck, ensure a good seal at the nose and mouth and try again. If the chest rises, check for signs of a pulse at the neck (carotid pulse).

Continue ventilations at the rate of one breath every 5 seconds for an adult or every 3 seconds for an infant or child.

Recheck the pulse every five minutes.

Destructive Alcohol

The effects produced by alcohol are common, so far as we can discover, to every animal. Alcohol is a universal intoxicant, and in the higher orders of animals is capable of inducing the most systematic phenomena of disease.
