Tourism in Greece traces its roots to the ancient times. Cultural exchange took place between the Greek colonies of Magna Graeca and the young Roman Republic before Rome's rise to dominance of the Western Mediterranean.
âGasping is an indication that the brain is still alive and it tells you that if you start and continue uninterrupted chest compressions, the person has a high chance of surviving. The challenge is to educate bystanders that if they are helping someone in cardiac arrest, not to mistake gasping for breathing.
Gasping is not breathing. If the victim isn't breathing, start Rescue Breathing. (Use a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) barrier mask if one is available.) If you have any reservations about giving rescue breathing or consider the victim at high risk for disease transmission, perform Chest Compression-Only CPR.
