* Use latex gloves and a breathing mask to prevent infection or transmission of disease.
* If breaths do not
go in, re-tilt the head and try again. If breaths still do not go in, the airway may be obstructed (see "How to Clear
an Obstructed Airway").
* If you suspect a spinal injury (see "How to Rule out a Spinal Cord Injury"),
do not tilt the chin to open the airway. Instead, with one hand on each side of the head and facing the injured person's toes,
put your index and third fingers in front of the earlobes and push the jaw forward and up.
* If this method doesn't
open the airway, revert to the chin-tilt method: the injured person's most drastic need is for oxygen.
* If the person
has a severe injury to the mouth, then give breaths through the nose while keeping the injured person's mouth sealed shut.

MADRID, Spain -- The Spanish government is investigating if a crime was committed by a U.S. company that said it had found
$500 million worth of coins in an Atlantic Ocean shipwreck, according to Sunday news reports.
Odyssey Marine Exploration,
based in Tampa, Fla., revealed on Friday they had found hundreds of thousands of colonial-era silver and gold coins in the
wreck, but didn't release details about the ship or the wreck site, citing security concerns.
The Culture Ministry
said it found it "suspicious" that the company didn't release those details, the national news agency Efe reported.
Odyssey
did say that the site is beyond the territorial waters or legal jurisdiction of any country.
