Explain the reason of the followings:
Adult/Child - Body Airway Obstruction-Unconscious
Establish unresponsiveness. |
When do we access EMS in an adult?Child? |
If victim becomes unconscious during Responsive Rescue gently lower the victim to the ground and begin CPR. (If victim is found unconscious follow Adult/Child CPR protocol). Begin CPR (starting with compressions, do not check pulse) with extra step: each time you open the airway, look for object in the back of the throat. If you see the object and can easily remove it, remove it. |
Do you ever use a blind finger sweep?Visual finger sweep? |
After about 2 minutes of CPR activate Emergency Response if no one has done so |
|
* If victim is breathing or resumes effective breathing, place in recovery position. |
Infant: Body Airway Obstruction-Unconscious
Establish unresponsiveness. If second rescuer is available, have him or her activate the EMS system. |

individual | EMS needed or not | blind sweep |
adult/child |
-before and after CPR -after an fibrillator administration -why ems is required because to access the cause and prevent avoidable causes of unresponsiveness eg: hypoglycemia, or to give higher treatment like intubation removal of foreign body |
never to be attempted both in child or adult |
infants |
- yes - foreign body removal - every 2 minutes of CPR seeking emergency response is the CPR becomes ineffective when done by a single person alone - higher treatment |
never to be attempted |
