✓ Tap pt on the shoulder and ask "Are you OK?"
✓ "AVPU"
✓ A- Alert: Fully awake & responsive
✓ V- Verbal: Responds to verbal stimuli
✓ P- Painful: Responds to painful stimuli
✓ U- Unresponsive
Airway Assessment
✓ Pt must be in supine (face up) position to evaluate.
✓ Gently roll onto back.
✓ *If pt is talking- airway is open
2 Methods to open airway:
✓ Head tilt-chin lift and jaw thrust
To perform the head-tilt/chin lift technique on an adult:
✓ - Press down on the forehead while pulling up on the bony part of the chin with two
to
✓ three fingers of the other hand.
✓ - For adults, tilt the head past a neutral position to open the airway while avoiding
✓ hyperextension of the neck.

✓ The modified jaw-thrust maneuver is used to open the airway when a patient is
suspected of having a head, neck or spinal injury.
✓ To perform this maneuver on an adult, kneel above the patient's head and:
✓ -Put one hand on each side of the patient's head with the thumbs near the corners
✓ of the mouth pointed toward the chin, using the elbows for support.
✓ -Slide the fingers into position under the angles of the patient's jawbone without
moving the head or neck.
✓ - Thrust the jaw upward without moving the head or neck to lift the jaw and open
the airway.
Once the airway is open, simultaneously check
for breathing and a carotid pulse, for at least
✓ 5 but no more than 10 seconds.
Agonal breaths
✓ Isolated or infrequent gasping that occurs in the absence of normal breathing in an
unconscious patient. These breaths can occur after the heart
✓ has stopped beating and are considered a sign of cardiac arrest. Agonal breaths are
NOT normal breathing. If the patient is demonstrating agonal breaths, you need to
care for the patient as if he or she is not breathing at all.
Respiratory arrest
✓ If the patient is not breathing but has a definitive pulse, the patient is in respiratory
arrest.
✓ To care for a patient experiencing respiratory arrest, you must give ventilations.
✓ Giving ventilations is a technique to supply oxygen to a patient who is in respiratory
✓ arrest.
