The given statement is True.

Explanation:

Rescue breathing can be defined as the breathing action in which mouth to mouth resuscitation is provided. It is done in case of emergency in which the rescuer places his or her mouth against the mouth of the person who is not able to breathe.

Further Explanation:  

This process is used in case of the emergency conditions where the person is not able to breathe using his own lungs. When there is an emergency condition such as when a person is drowning in water or in case of the cardiac arrest and also in case of severe injuries, rescue breathing is required.

It can take many forms, but generally air is provided to the victim in order to support the effort of breathing which is not solely completed by the victim. This process also involves the mechanical manipulation of the patients chest's arms which is known as the Silvester method.

The rescue breathing is also followed by some of the other activities like  CPR and defibrillation et cetera. The conditions in which the breathing is hampered must be cured without any further delay.
