BREATHING

Hypoxia can lead to...

• Lack of oxygenation of the patient's tissues

• Improvement circulation

• Improvement of dyspnea

What can obstruct the airway?

• Tongue

• Blood

• Vomit

• All of the above

The patient is not hypoxic when the saturation of oxygen is greater than or equal to 94%

• True

• False

What to perform?

• Check cardiac rhythm

• Look: Edema, vomitus, foreign body

• Listen: Breath sounds

A supraglottic device may be placed if there are signs of trauma

severe oropharyngeal

• True

• False

Apnea. It means occasional agonal gasps, which do not result in effective air exchange.

• True

• False

Once the patient's airway is open, ventilations can be assessed as follows, except:

• Check if the patient is breathing

• If the patient is not breathing start assisted ventilation

• Make sure saturation is less than 75%

How is rescue ventilation performed?

• 10 - 12 ventilations for minute

• 14 - 16 ventilations for minute

• 16 - 20 ventilations for minute

If the ventilatory rate is between 10 and 20 ventilations/minute, it means:

• Eupnea

• Apnea

• Bradypnea

• Tachypnea

Conscious patients should be placed oropharyngeal cannula?

• True

• False
