What is the term for a breath given to a victim who is not breathing?

The term "rescue breath" specifically refers to the technique used to provide artificial respiration to an individual who has stopped breathing. This method is part of the broader first aid procedures in emergency situations, particularly during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). When someone is not breathing, giving rescue breaths can help supply oxygen to their lungs and vital organs until professional medical help arrives or normal breathing is restored.

In contrast, the other terms mentioned do not have the same specific meaning. "CPR breath" could imply breathing during CPR, but it does not clearly define the assistance aspect or differentiate it from chest compressions. "First aid breath" and "life-saving breath" are not established terms widely recognized in first aid or medical training, and thus lack clarity compared to "rescue breath," which is explicitly known and used in emergency response contexts.
