Suboxone Coverage. Most insurance plans do cover Suboxone medication, though some doctors will accept cash only for prescriptions. However, many people seeking treatment prefer to pay for the medication personally, in order to keep their treatment measures private. Please remember, a drug addiction is nothing to be ashamed about.
Mouth-to-mouth ventilation has its own costs. Exhaled air contains 17 percent oxygen, less than 21 percent of fresh air, and 4 percent carbon-dioxide, which can inhibit cardiac contraction. Studies have found that from 10 to 35 percent of patients who receive CPR inhale stomach contents, emitted after air is blown into the stomach rather than to the lungs. And time allocated to ventilation, especially if only one rescuer is involved, is subtracted from the efforts to provide chest compressions.
But the crux of the matter is the oxygen-carbon dioxide tradeoff. Your lungs just aren't as good as you think they are at oxygen exchange. Every time you take a breath, which is 21 percent oxygen, your lungs are only able to extract about a fifth of that oxygen. The rest gets breathed right back out again. There wasn't much carbon dioxide in the air you breathed in: unless you are in a failing submarine or spaceship, it's around 0.04 percent. But when you breathe out, it's still pretty low, about 4 percent. There's not a huge difference between inhaled and exhaled air, chemically speaking.
