Your videos are some of the best on the web. Well done. Minor suggestion, but you should also be looking for signs of gastric distention when ensuring proper ventilation.
@@CarlBrown-zg6te yes in the emt school but actually you don’t need to do that every time . Make sure you are not going to suck it not more than 15 secs
From 'Proximal' to the head, tilt chin lift right away. Assess airway and breathing and slide hand down to check carotid. Roll patient to lateral, sweep with finger to clean out teeth . If still gurgling use suction for no more than 20 seconds and assess again. What about the airway on an unconscious patient?? Or who is holding head tilt chin lift?? Patient is unresponsive so that puts him/her or whatever pronoun is appropriate these days in the RTC category.
Finger sweeps are still taught! It's to take out big chunks that can't be taken out with suction or may clog it. Unresponsive can imply unconscious; you do the head tilt chin lift to open the airway and the patient typically stays in position or can be held by your partner.
