BLS - Obstructed Airway;(Team Response - Esther Clark)
What is the correct area of the chest to perform chest thrusts?
Center of the chest on the lower half of the sternum
What is the correct way to perform back blows?
Using the heel of your hand, firmly strike between the scapulae.
Back blows have not dislodged the object. Using a series of 5 back blows and 5
chest thrusts can be effective. True or false?
True
What should you do now?
Carefully lower Mrs. Clark to a firm, flat surface. Then immediately begin CPR, starting
with chest compressions.
What should the team do after Jenna completes 30 chest compressions?
Open Mrs. Clark's mouth, look for an object and perform a finger sweep if an object is
seen.
What is the best course of action?
Continue performing cycles of 30 compressions and 2 ventilations, checking for an
object before each set of ventilations.
