sputum from deep the chest. A breath and a cough
must be repeated about every two seconds without
let up until help arrives, or until the heart is
to begin beating normally again. Deep breaths get

circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart
also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way,
heart attack victims can get to a hospital. Tell
