Notice how the rescuer is kneeling at a level that is next to the patient's upper arm. This position is useful when (or if) it becomes necessary to administer chest compressions. Further notice that the rescuer's ear is right above the patient's nose and mouth, and that the rescuer has turned her head so that she is looking at the patient's chest. Hence the description, "Look, listen and feel." Look at the chest to determine if it is moving. Listen for the sound of air moving in and/or out of the nose and mouth. Feel for the movement of air from the nose and/or mouth.

Note from Mr. Corby: Recently, the cost of maintaining these pages has started to "bite" into my budget. I'm not complaining, mind you, the amount of self-satisfaction that I get from your comments about the usefulness of this site, is well worth the expense. One way or another, I will continue to maintain and update these pages for as long as I draw breath. If any of you would like to help by making a small non tax deductible donation (God Bless You,) mail your support to: Emergency Medical Ed, 2053 NW 79 Ave #26211, Miami, FL. 33122. Thank you for your help in keeping this site going.
