First, the students practiced rescue breathing on a milk jug that simulated a person's head. It had a breadsack attached to it that would expand when they blew air into the cut out mouth. Then the students were able to actually practice rescue breathing on a Rescue A.J. They found they had to pull harder during the head-chin-tilt-lift otherwise the air would not go down the throoat and into the trachea. They would like to thank Mr. Ericsson for helping them learn rescue breathing.
