Q

Artificial respiration may be necessary in cases of __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• artificial respiration is used when normal breathing has stopped or is inadequate • causes that can stop or seriously impair breathing (such as electric shock, certain toxins, or water in the lungs) • basic first-aid goal: restore or support breathing and circulation until medical help arrives

💭 Think About

• For each option, ask: can this situation cause a person to stop breathing or breathe so poorly that they need help? • Think about what electrocution does to the heart and breathing, what poisoning can do to the nervous system, and what drowning does to the lungs. • Consider whether artificial respiration is limited to just one type of emergency or can be applied in multiple different causes of respiratory arrest.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which conditions can lead to respiratory arrest (not just pain or injury). • Check whether standard first-aid training links CPR and rescue breathing to more than one of these emergencies. • Confirm that artificial respiration is about helping or restoring breathing, not treating burns, wounds, or removing the original cause.
