According to the AHA, in ventilating a patient with a bag-valve mask that has supplementary
oxygen, the volume administered should be sufficient to achieve visible chest rise
The first step in providing artificial ventilation of a stoma breather is to Clear any mucus or
secretion obstructing the stoma
flow-restricted, oxygen-powered ventilation device (FROPVD) should have all of the following
features EXCEPT:
- An audible alarm when ventilation is activated
- A trigger that enables the rescuer to use both hands
- A peak flow rate of up to 40 Liters per minute
- A rugged design and construction An audible alarm when ventilation is activated
The two most common airway adjuncts that EMTs use are the oropharyngeal airway (OPA) and
the nasopharyngeal airway (NPA)
An oropharyngeal airway should be inserted in All unconscious patients with no gag reflex

all the vital tissues is called Shock
,An insufficiency in the supply of oxygen to the body's tissues is called: Hypoxia

switch to a fresh cylinder. 200
When handling oxygen cylinders, the EMT should do all of the following EXCEPT:
- Have the cylinders hydrostatically tested every 5 years
- Ensure that valve seat inserts and gaskets are in good condition
- Store reserve cylinders in a warm, humid room
- Use medical-grade oxygen in all cylinders Store reserve cylinders in a warm, humid room
The best way to deliver high-concentration oxygen to a breathing patient is to use a
nonrebreather mask
A nasal cannula provides between ______ percent and _______ percent oxygen concentrations
24;44
You are assessing a 54 year old woman who is unconscious and has a noisy upper airway. If she
has dentures, during the airway procedures you should Leave them in unless they are loose
When managing the airway of a child, you should remember that the child's mouth and
nose are smaller and more easily obstructed

breathing stops completely, the patient is in Respiratory Arrest
Which of the following ventilation devices is contraindicated infants and children:
- BVM
, - Pediatric pocket mask
- Flow-restricted, oxygen-powered ventilation device
- Nonrebreather mask Flow-restricted, oxygen-powered ventilation device
A device that allows the control of oxygen in liters per minute is called a flowmeter
a type of flowmeter that has no gauge and allows for the adjustments of flow in liters per
minute and is stepped increments is called a constant flow selector valve

patient's mucous membranes.
