Be meticulous with your airway management and ensure you are achieving good inflation. HR <60 If the heart rate drops below 60 then this is an indication to start CPR. Chest rise is the best guide. If the heart rate has not improved after 30s then increase O2 to 100% and attempt further ventilation.

Moreover, when airway management is needed, advanced airway techniques by ALS crews were associated with decreased odds of survival. The Western Trauma Association broadens the ED thoracotomy window a bit to include anyone with no signs of life but less than 10 minutes of CPR.

Thankfully, that gentleman was successfully resuscitated despite no bystander CPR, and if you listen carefully, we hope to arm you with the tools to do so similarly. These aren’t your standard arrest patients though, they typically have many fewer comorbidities – so CPR tends to be more successful.

In fact, the pressure delivered was limited to ~50 cm/H2O, relieving the excess, but holding that amount for CPR. Airway management by first responders when using a bag-valve device and two oxygen-driven resuscitators in 104 patients. It was extremely well-liked by field personnel, but virtually unknown in hospitals. Kramer, B.

Advantages included: a good seal by a rescuer with a small mouth and a victim with a large mouth; excellent patency of the upper airway using head tilt and chin lift to tension the pharyngeal dilating muscles of the neck; gastric insufflation was less likely with the nasal cavities moderating the force of the airflow.
