- Mouth-to-mouth ventilation: The rescuer delivers exhaled air to victim, and exhalation by the victim is passive
- Mouth-to-nose ventilation
- Oropharyngeal airway with an external extension mouthpiece (it is often difficult to obtain a good mouth seal)
- Mouth-to-mask ventilation: The mask may include one-way valve to direct the victim's exhaled gases away from the rescuer and a side port for delivery of supplemental oxygen
- Self-inflating resuscitation bag
- Tracheal intubation: After placement of the tracheal tube, no pause should be made for ventilation because blood flow during CPR decreases rapidly when chest compressions are stopped
CPR = cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
