From across the room, your first impression of the patient is that she is not moving, you can see no rise and fall of her chest Or abdomen. and her skin color is pale. When you arrive at the patient's side, you confirm that she is unresponsive. As you shout for help, your next action in this situation should be to: c. Begin chest compressions 13 . If no head or neck trauma is suspected, Which Of the following techniques should healthcare professionals use to open the airway? c. Head tilt-chin lift 14 . The primary survey reveals that the patient is unresponsive and not breathing. A weak pulse is present at a rate of about 70 . Your course of action Will be to: d. Insert an endotracheal tube, Combitube, or laryngeal mask airway 15 . An oral airway: c. Is usually well-tolerated in responsive or semi-responsive patients 16 . An oral airway is in place. In this situation, the groper rate for bag-valve-mask is: b. 10 to 12 ventilations per minute; each ventilation delivered over 1 second 17 . Which of the following reflects the operation Of a transcutaneous pacemaker: 1 .
