Answer 1

Artificial Respiration is forcing of air into and out of the lungs of one person by another person (by mouth-to-mouth resuscitation or mouth-to-nose resuscitation)

or by mechanical means.

Whenever a person’s natural respiration disturbed, artificial respiration would be given.

Cardiac failure, overdose of depressive drugs, suffocation resulting from drowning, by electric shock, breathing poisonous gases etc. can disrupt the normal breathing.
