You are providing ventilations using a Bag-mask device. Suddenly, you do not see the patient's chest rise with the ventilation. You reposition the patient to ensure an open airway. When you attempt to ventilate, you do not see his chest rise. The most likely cause of this is: a. The bag-mask device is faulty b. Airway obstruction c. The patient has suffered an MI d. Cardiac tamponade - b. Airway obstruction The most likely cause of the failure of the chest to rise during ventilations is an airway obstruction. Although a faulty bag-mask device is a possibility, it is unlikely that it would fail in the middle of providing ventilations.
