Just curious.. when you find a unresponsive patient why do you use Head-tilt chin lift? I’ve been taught on unresponsive patients with a MOI of a fall and lying unconscious to assume there’s C Spine injury and use Jaw Thrust.
David Finch Head tilt/Chin lift. The head-tilt/chin-lift is a procedure used to prevent the tongue obstructing the upper airways. The maneuver is performed by tilting the head backwards in unconscious patients, often by applying pressure to the forehead and the chin
I have a question here , if this was a cardiac arrest situation , i mean if the pulse was undetected .. In that case we will start CPR but should we attach oxygen to BVM or we just give puff without O2 ? Second point , if the patient has weak pulse that he is unconscious shouldn't we start compressions to push blood to the brain and maybe he will regain consciousness?
if there’s a weak pulse you bag them, no pulse start CPR & the reason you don’t add O2 during CPR is because it can be a hassle when you’re trying to restart the heart so it depends on ur resources
steps to assess the airway at EMT level: 1. Open the mouth. 2. look inside to identify potential obstructions and listen for specific sounds (stridor, snoring airway) that would suggest airway obstruction. 3. clear any obstructions found. 4. manual maneuvers (head-tilt chin-lift or jaw thrust based on c-spine)5. insert adjuncts. Going straight away for manual maneuvers can and will make the airway obstruction worse if there is one, as you just aligned the trachea and allowed that obstruction to slide further down in the airway. The demo in this video would be a straight fail in my opinion.
@@dccxy You'd know there is a tongue airway obstruction when the pt has snoring sounds. Manual maneuvers and adjuncts would normally solve the problem but you'd still look in the mouth first to ensure it is otherwise clear and there are no other foreign bodies
Im just starting my winter quarter fr ent n it was a must fr us to say bsi scene safety n i was waiting fr that part. Unles it was taught different there.
Thank you!
anyone else feel like the OPA was the wrong size? It didn't sit right on the lips like it should.
In t6he field it matters, but most of the skills test you just use whatever size adjunct you have

Ariel yaya I know what it is .. I’m saying that I would use a jaw thrust on a unresponsive patient
It's just a skill training
@@davidfinch6543 nnnnno one's answering your question huh
Why you didn't say about open airway that is head-tilt chin lift?🤓

Well it's straight from the NREMT standards. This is the correct order. Giving a fail for this would be literally incorrect
uniteehumaine why ?
What if the obstruction is the tongue, which requires manual maneuvers to clear? How would you know until after you've done the maneuver?

Fail....didn't say BSI haha.
