| | | | | | | | | | | |
open the airway. If head trauma is suspected, use a jaw thrust. If head
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
trauma is not suspected, use a head-tilt-chin-lift maneuver
| | | | | | | |
You encounter an unconscious pt. They have a pulse but inadequate
| | | | | | | | | |
respirations. You open the airway and find vomit. What should you do?
| | | | | | | | | | | |

How do you use suction equipment? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Can
| | | | | | | | | | |
use rigid (Yankauer/tonsil tips) or nonrigid (french/whistle-tip). Use
| | | | | | | |
rigid unless you are suctioning a stoma or suctioning nose/liquid at back
| | | | | | | | | | | |
of mouth. Make sure to measure for proper size. Don't touch back of
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
throat, don't want to activate gag reflex. Turn on to at least 300 mmHg.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Attach appropriate tubing. Suction for no more than 15 seconds for
| | | | | | | | | | |
adults, 10 seconds for children, and 5 seconds for infants. Rinse with

| | | | | | | | |
Dyspnea
|
2. wheezing
3. Coughing
4. fever
5. dehydration
6. Tachypnea
7. Tachycardia
Often due to RSV infection, severe bronchiole inflammation. Occurs
| | | | | | | |
most frequently in infants, especially boys. Provide O2 therapy, allow pt
| | | | | | | | | | |
, to remain in comfortable position. Reassess frequently and be prepared
| | | | | | | | |
to manage airway/positive pressure ventilation
| | | | |

mask. May need full airway control w/ airway adjunct and bvm
| | | | | | | | | | |
ventilation
