It's the same concept of artificial breathing but this one goes right below the neck. It's suppose to be more comfortable for the patient. We just have to wait and see how he does. BTW, today he opened his eyes and moved his arm/legs etc. He was following everything we were saying, i guess that's a positive sign.

thanks
