Question

An unresponsive 16 year old male has snoring respirations after diving into a pond and nearly drowning.

Suction the oropharynx

Perform a modified jaw thrust

Begin chest compressions

Begin BVM

A 61 year old male is pale. Diaphoretic and unable to catch her breath. You notice swelling in her lower extremities

Congestive hear failure

Upper respiratory infection

Asthma

Emphysema

An unresponsive trauma patient is gurgling. When you suction the oropharynx with a rigid catheter, the patient gags.

Continue to suction the oropharynx

Switch to a soft tip catheter

Assess insertion depth of catheter

What is the normal range of breaths per minute for an adult

12-20

22-28

6-10

28-36
