While this isn’t part of your question, you should know that mouth to mouth is no longer recommended.

Evidence has shown that chest compression are a much more important thing to do, so partly to encourage people to do chest compressions instead of mouth to mouth, it’s no longer recommended. You would rather have two people (or more) ready to do chest compressions (as these should be done without interruption until EMS arrives, unless told otherwise by AED obviously machine.) instead of one person trying to stick to mouth to mouth while the second person sticks to chest compressions and gets tired and ends up not doing them right. EMS still make use of the effect that mouth to mouth does, but they use those hand squeezed air pumps instead.
