Suvia Theronguard is unknown and forgotten
Watching Elma recline back onto the dusty floor, Suvia took the few gingerly steps over to the woman and knelt down.
“Alright, I’m going to demonstrate now—I’ll just go through the motions, if that’s okay…Miss Elma and I aren’t quite that familiar.” She said with a sheepish smile.
Taking care to tilt her patient’s head back, Suvia began to speak aloud.
“With the head in a chin up position, you would pinch shut the nostrils of the patient with the thumb and index finger to prevent air from escaping.” Without actually pinching shut the woman’s nose, Suvia placed her fingers over her nostrils to simulate the fashion in which the procedure should be done.
“Taking a deep breath,” Suvia continued, “place your mouth over the patient’s forming an airtight seal blowing at a rate of twelve to twenty breaths per minute. Take care to watch the patient’s chest to make sure it is rising. If the chest doesn’t rise, you must check your application of the treatment by tilting the head more and checking your seal on the patient’s mouth. If this is not the problem, then the throat must be checked for obstructions. If a blockage is detected, then dislodgment of the obstruction may be acheived by giving several blows on the back.”
While Suvia was speaking, she gestured all around Elma’s body to make a point of what she was saying. After completeing her task and receiving an approving nod from Alia, Suvia stood and helped her volunteer patient off of the floor.
