4. Both together:<br />
When circulation and respiration fail artificial respiration and cardiac massage<br />
should be delivered at the same time. It is exhausting and the operator should be able to<br />
get help when available. Ideally, artificial respiration and cardiac massage should<br />
resemble resting state in that the rates of the two must be one is to four (1:4). When the<br />
operator is alone two respirations could follow twelve cardiac massages, for convenience.<br />
When help is available, the operator should get the assistant to deliver cardiac massage.<br />
<strong>The</strong> operator should give the artificial respiration and lead the assistant by counting aloud.<br />
This will ensure coordinated action between the two people.<br />
5. Completion of the manoeuvre<br />
If started, it should continue until the victim recovers or another person<br />
takes over the manoeuvre. It is necessary to pause one in a while to see whether the<br />
victim has recovered.<br />
