his chin.
what is the function of pulmonary surfactant? - answer -it
lubricates the alveolar walls and allows them to expand and
recoil.
which of the following devices is contraindicated in patients with
blunt thoracic trauma? - answer -Oxygen-powered ventilator.

You are performing abdominal thrusts on a 19-year-old male with
a severe airway obstruction when he becomes unresponsive.
After lowering him to the ground and placing him in a supine

compressions.
As you begin ventilating an unresponsive apneic man, you hear
gurgling in his upper airway. Your MOST immediate action should
be to - answer -quickly turn the patient onto his side so secretions
can drain
