How to get through one.
Answer
A CPR mask is a mask that has a one-way valve on it so that it can be placed over the unconscious person's mouth. The valve only allows air to go into the unconscious person, to put air into their lungs while preventing air and or fluids (saliva, blood, etc.) from getting on you or in your mouth. If you accidentally put it on the person backwards, do NOT turn it around and and put the contaminated side on your mouth. Universal Precautions assume that everyone has a contagious disease until proven otherwise. (wear gloves, too)
