The procedure instructs kneeling behind the patient and using gradual forward and backward motions to bear weight and relieve pressure. It emphasizes counting during each swing and maintaining a steady rhythm until natural breathing resumes.

The instructions advise breathing restoration at twelve to fifteen breaths a minute, sending a physician if available, loosening tight clothing, keeping the patient warm, and avoiding movement until normal breathing returns. Then the patient should remain lying down and be carried to a warm place for medical care.
