Many types of injury can cause breathing to stop, depriving the brain of precious oxygen. Rescue breathing - also known as mouth-to-mouth resuscitation - can save a life.
Determine if the injured child is breathing (see "How to Check Airway, Breathing and Circulation"). If not, continue with the steps below.
Give two long, slow breaths, being sure to maintain a seal between your mouth and the child's.
