Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The Schafer method is a traditional first-aid manual artificial respiration technique used to revive someone who is drowning or has suffered asphyxiation. The patient is laid prone (face down), and regular pressure is applied to the lower back/ribs to force water and air out of the lungs, helping restore natural breathing cycles before emergency medical services arrive.
