(1) Expansion of the victimis lungs is brought about by blowing air in at higher than atmospheric pressure (positive-pressure breathing). (2) During inflation of the lungs, the intrapleural pressure increases. (3) This technique will not work if the victim has a hole in the chest wall, even if the lungs are intact. (4) Expiration during this procedure depends on the elasticity of the alveolar and thoracic walls.
