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.
