AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for addressing tongue retraction during emergencies like epileptic seizures or suffocation fail to provide immediate and safe solutions, risking suffocation and cardiac arrest due to the inability to quickly return the tongue to the oral cavity without causing oral injury.
The method involves using diaphragmatic exhalation to force air into the oral and nasal cavities, causing the tongue to retract into the oral cavity, thereby opening the airway and restoring breathing, using abdominal pressure above the navel to mimic diaphragmatic breathing.
This method effectively prevents suffocation and cardiac arrest by safely and quickly returning the tongue to the oral cavity, ensuring oxygen supply and restoring breathing, applicable in various positions.

Abstract
Description
[0001] A lifesaving method for eliminating cases of tongue retraction
[0002] The invention relates to medicinal methods, namely to
[0003] During epileptic seizures, electric shock, and other unforeseen circumstances (suffocation), the tongue may retract. The author cites two websites regarding tongue retraction.
[0004] 2) Tongue retraction - Great Medical Encyclopedia
[0005] 3) Author's certificate No. 13871. Discovery in medicine - Bekmamedov's unique method "Saving a human life" dated September 13, 2023.
[0006] The methods for releasing a tongue retraction (or tongue root displacement) described on both websites do not allow for immediate tongue retraction from the larynx into the oral cavity. To open the oral cavity, the jaws must be forcibly opened (if clenched) using an object that could cause injury to the oral cavity. Only after this procedure can the tongue be pulled out with fingers while holding it. The danger of a tongue retraction is that the victim experiences suffocation (asphyxia) due to lack of air access. This can lead to cardiac arrest. This requires efficiency and speed, which depends on the rescuer. Both websites recommend returning the tongue from the larynx to the oral cavity using the fingers (the primary tool). If this is not possible, an airway device is used, inserted into the gordo, and the tongue is removed. The distinctive feature of the invented method is that tongue retraction is safely and quickly corrected without entering the oral cavity.
[0007] The purpose of this lifesaving method is to: 1) prevent the tongue from falling back into the victim's larynx by returning it to the oral cavity, preventing asphyxia (suffocation) and cardiac arrest; 2) saturate the victim's brain with oxygen by improving blood circulation. These emergencies are eliminated by using (forcibly from the outside) the victim's diaphragm (located above the navel and below the ribs). When a person loses consciousness, the muscles of the tongue relax, which can result in the victim's tongue falling back, leading to cardiac arrest. To prevent this, it is necessary to use the victim's abdominal diaphragm (the diaphragmatic exhalation method). When the victim's diaphragm is pressed sharply (Fig. 1) into the abdominal area above the navel, it forces all the air in the abdominal cavity through the lungs into the oral and nasal cavities.Under the pressure of the escaping air, the victim's tongue, stretched by the muscle, contracts in the oral cavity, thereby opening the larynx for airflow. The uniqueness of this Bekmamedov technique is that, regardless of the victim's position during rescue—sitting, standing, or lying face up—through a strong, repeated diaphragmatic exhalation (pressing the abdomen above the navel with the hands), the victim's exhalation and inhalation (through the mouth and nose) are restored. This restores breathing and the functioning of all organs.
[0008] Nasal breathing (mouth closed) will help the victim regain consciousness even more quickly. Diaphragmatic exhalation is an element of the respiratory system method according to Kh.G. Bekmamedov, author's certificate No. 12733, patent No. 04585 EAPO. Diaphragmatic exhalation compresses the gastrointestinal tract and massages the abdominal organs in the abdominal cavity, allowing the victim's body to recover quickly. Another important feature of diaphragmatic exhalation is that the victim, upon regaining consciousness, can, by applying his own effort, inhale through the nose and exhale through the diaphragm in any position—sitting, standing, or lying on his back—until he finally regains consciousness. Three positions of the victim during rescue are shown below in Fig. 2. From the above rescue diagrams (figure), it is clear that in all three cases, the force (pressure) P is directed to the abdominal area (above the navel). In this case, repeated pressure on the abdomen is applied with open palms and fingers of both hands of the rescuer (Fig. 1). The frequency of pressure on the abdomen (between the navel and the hypochondrium), i.e.the diaphragm can coincide (synchronously) with the heartbeat frequency (pulse), the state of a healthy organism:.
[0009] F breathing (diaphragmatic) = F heart rate (pulse) = 72 beats / min.
[0010] Auth. certificate No. 12167AR
[0011] This condition can be met with qualified assistance from rescuers. This condition is not mandatory if the victim has regained consciousness.
[0012] 1. Used to improve cerebral circulation during epileptic seizures and other cases. a) The "big pump" exercise is performed with the victim lying on his back, placing a small pillow under his head. The arms and legs are extended along the body. Repeatedly raise both legs to 90 degrees and lower them to the floor while breathing through the nose. Give 1 glass of warm water before the exercise. The exercise lasts 3-5 minutes. b) The "small pump" exercise - the mouth is closed (nasal breathing). The body position does not change. Repeatedly raise and lower the arms to 90 degrees above the body while breathing through the nose. The exercise lasts 3-5 minutes. c) The exercise is performed with the victim participating, if he has regained consciousness and can follow a command. In a supine position, he breathes through the nose, inhaling and exhaling from the abdomen. The exercise lasts 3-5 minutes.
[0013] Based on all of the above, the invention formula can be presented.
Claims
Invention formula 1. The method for relieving a retracted tongue differs from others in that it does not require any effort to open the mouth, since the mouth opens itself and the tongue becomes toned in the oral cavity under the pressure of the air coming out through the lungs into the mouth and nose from the stomach thanks to diaphragmatic exhalation by pressing on the stomach.
2. The tongue retraction method is distinguished by its instantaneousness and speed, which is very vital in cases of asphyxia (suffocation) and cardiac arrest, thanks to diaphragmatic exhalation, which oxygenates the brain.
3. The method for rescuing a retracted tongue is distinguished by the fact that in the process of restoring the victim's breathing, the main thing is diaphragmatic exhalation through the mouth and nose, which stimulates the cerebral cortex.
4. The method for relieving a retracted tongue differs in that, to increase cerebral circulation, large and small pump exercises are used, using the victim’s diaphragmatic exhalation and drinking 1 glass of water during the exercises.
