The level of oxygenation provided by mouth-to-mouth resuscitation is inadequate to support life for any length of time. What percentage of oxygen is provided by this form of artificial ventilation?
  1. 100%
  2. 40%
  3. 21%
  4. 16%
Explanation
Answer: D - The level of oxygenation provided by mouth to mouth resuscitation is inadequate to support life for any length of time, providing only 16% oxygen. For this reason, such resuscitation is only a temporary solution to respiratory emergencies. As soon as possible, the patient should be switched to 100% oxygen from an oxygen source.
