A rescue device for a heart attack victim and a method of rescuing a heart attack victim is provided. The device includes a first tube that is configured to be inserted into the victims mouth so as to assist in performing CPR and restoring normal breathing by creating a high-pressure environment within the victims mouth and thus inflating the victims lungs. The device further includes a second tube that is configured to allow a rescuer to create the high-pressure environment in the victims mouth by blowing into a second tube of the device. A filter is positioned between the first and second tubes to reduce sanitary concerns and to prevent foreign objects from traveling between mouths of the victim and the rescuer.
