I'm ab a month late, but supplemental oxygen would be delivered at 15L/min thru your typical oxygen tubing connected to the bag-valve assembly, just like you would with the mask rather than the I-Gel. You could ventilate on room air, but you would expect oxygenation to be not very effective.
amateur question, forgive me...What if you were doing all this to a patient, but the reason they were not breathing is because they had something stuck in their trachea (wind pipe)? like a grape or nut? Wouldn't you doing all this make it worse? How would we know? Thank you.
Before you insert an airway, you check if the airway is patent. If there is something in the airway (FBAO) then you would try and remove it with a laryngoscope and McGill forceps. (At least thats how I have been taught)
Good stuff man
PS: would you do all this, just like you showed here, but then also attach oxygen?
