What is the name of the technique we perform on an injured person using mouth-to-mouth insufflations?
Traffic accidents
Explanation
The technique of **mouth-to-mouth insufflation** is called **ventilatory support**. This technique is part of **cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)**, which is performed when a person is not breathing normally.
- During CPR, **chest compressions** and **mouth-to-mouth ventilations** are performed. The ventilations allow air to enter the injured person's lungs, ensuring they receive oxygen.
- The process consists of performing **2 mouth-to-mouth ventilations** after every **30 chest compressions**. This helps maintain the circulation of oxygen in the body until emergency services arrive.
Therefore, the correct term for this technique is **ventilatory support**, as it focuses on providing ventilation through insufflations.
