- C-Spine Injuries: Use Chin lift if jaw
thrust fails
- Breaths 1 second in and
1 second out
- Ventilation Volume= visible chest rise
- Do not delay CPR for advanced airway
- Airway insertion may be deferred until patient fails
to respond to initial CPR and defibrillation or
demonstrates return of Spontaneous circulation (Class
IIb)
- BVM, ET, LMA, combitube equally effective
- The optimal method of managing the airway during
cardiac arrest will vary on the basis of provider
experience, health system characteristics, and the
patients condition. Studies suggest that the LMA and
Combitube can be inserted safely and can provide
ventilation that is as effective as bag-mask ventilation
- Use your C02 detector to
confirm ET Tube placement
- To reduce the risk of unrecognized tube misplacement
or displacement, providers should use clinical
assessment plus a confirmation device such as an exhaled
CO2 detector or an esophageal detector device to
evaluate tube location (Class IIa)
- Asynchronous ventilations 8 -10
per minute once advanced airway is placed
- Avoid Hyperventilation
- Foreign body Airway
Obstruction in CPR-NO tongue lift
or blind finger sweep.
