<p>A flexible, stretchable mask (30) that may be worn by a person assisting a victim of stopped breathing by administering mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. The mask (30) helps protect the rescuer from communicable diseases that the rescuer might otherwise contract and also makes the procedure more palatable to those concerned with mouth-to-mouth contact. The mask covers the lip and mouth area (16) of the rescuer and includes a one-way valve (18) that allows the rescuer to exhale air into the victim while preventing the rescuer from inhaling saliva from the victim.
