Pocket Mask mechanical breathing device used for mouth to mask rescue breathing 36. Pulse Oximeter machine that consists of a monitor and a sensor probe that measures the oxygen saturation in the capillary beds 37. Rescue Breathing artificial mean of breathing for a patient 38. Sellick Maneuver cricoid pressure - minimizes pastric distention and reduces risk of vomiting Assessment in Action 1. D 2. B 3. B 4. B 5. C 6. Jaw-thrust maneuver 7. Place patient in recovery position 8. Oropharynx, nasopharynx, epiglottis, throat, trachea, lungs, diaphram, chest muscles 9. No rising or falling of the chest, no sound of air moving in and out of patients nose and mouth 10. Keep the patients neck straight, examine and clean stoma, quickly clean and replace if there is a tube, then proceed with rexcue breathing as if the stoma is the mouth. In some cases, you may have to cover the mouth. Objectives The function of the respiratory system is to provide oxygen and to remove carbon dioxide from the red blood cells as they pass through the lungs. The respiratory system is made of the upper airway, lower airway, the lungs, and the diaphragm. The upper airway consists of the nasopharynx (nose), oropharynx (mouth), throat and epiglottis. The lower airway is made up of the trachea (windpipe), bronchioles, and main bronchus. There are also other muscles that help with breathing. Head Tilt-Chin Life Maneuver First, place patient on their back and kneel beside the patient. Then place on hand on the patients forehead and apply pressure with your palm. Move the patients head as far back as possible. Place the tips of the fingers of your other hand under the bony part of the lower jaw near the chin. Finally, lift the chin to help tilt back the head. Jaw-Thrust Maneuver Place the patient on their back and kneel at the top of the patients head. Place your fingers behind the angles of the patients lower jaw and move the jaw forward with firm pressure. Then tilt the head backward to a neutral or light sniffing position. Do not extend the cervical spine in a patient who has sustained an injury to the head or neck. Use your thumbs to pull down the patients lower haw, opening the enough to allow breathing through the mouth and nose. Once you have opened the airway, open the mouth to see if anything is blocking the airway. First, turn patient onto their side, then insert gloved fingers into the mouth. Curve your fingers into a C-shape and sweep from one side of the back of the mouth to the other side. Scoop out as much of the material as possible. Then to suction, lay patient on their back and insert the end of the suction tip into the patients mouth; now provide energy to suction. Make sure not to insert the tip farther than you can see. Do not suction more than 15 seconds at a time for an adult.

Patel 3 6. For a presence of breathing, look for the rising and falling of the chest, the sound of air moving in and out of the nose and mouth, and feel the movements of air on the side of your face or ear. 7. Adequate breathing rise and fall of chest, sound of air passing through nose and mouth, feel air on side of face or ear, normal breathing rate is 12-20 breaths/minute. Inadequate breathing noisy respirations, wheezing, gurgling indicate partial blockage; rapid & gasping breaths & cyanosis indicate that the patient isnt receiving enough oxygen; respiratory arrest indicates no breathing at all. Story Hello students, I will be teaching this class today. You teacher had some things to take care of. Can any of you tell me how far you are? Ms.Schin said. Well, we are on the chapter of airway management. Ms.Till was going to show us how to do the head tilt-chin lift and jaw-thrust maneuvers. Answered Uma. Great, why dont we review a little and then I can show you how to conduct the maneuvers. You, boy in the white shirt, be quiet. Why dont you tell me your name and what an OPA is. I am Vinny, and what kind of teacher are you if you dont know that OPA stands for oropharyngeal airway. Vinny and the rest of the class began laughing. Oh, so you are very smart huh? Ok then if you get my next question right, you can so whatever you want and if you dont you shut up and sit there. Fair enough? Bring it on. Ms.Schin performs the Heimlich maneuver on a dummy. Then she asks, What is this maneuver called? Really, I thought you would challenge me a little, its the Heimlich maneuver, duh! Jimmy arrogantly stated. Wrong, dont be so sure of yourself, the right answer is Sellick or Heimlich maneuver. Sorry now you have to sit silently. But Nope, silent. Ok class, now that we are done with that, what human body part is most likely to be an airway obstruction? The tongue. Said a shy voice. Exactly, who said that? I did, Im Winnie. Great, why dont you come up here and you can help me demonstrate. I need one more person. Who can tell me the difference between the trachea and esophagus? The trachea is the windpipe and the esophagus takes food down to the stomach, my name is Xavier. Xavier said very quickly. Good, come on up Xavier. Ok now we are going to practice the two maneuvers. When class ended, Vinny learned a lesson about being smart with subs, and Xavier finally got his chance to talk to Winnie. So it was a good day for Ms.Schin.
