Medical Scenario V
Alright, let's get these scenarios back up and running ....
You respond on a respiratory emergency and find a patient unresponsive at a local restaurant. Bystanders are performing CPR.
They report to you that the patient started choking and attempts at the Heimlich were unsuccessful.
The patient has extremely labored, shallow, stridorous agonal respirations. He is cyanotic. There is a palpable carotid pulse. It is extremely difficult to ventilate the patient via BVM.
You grab a laryngoscope, visualize the cords, and see the following ...
What are your next steps in patient care and stabilization?
Other thoughts/considerations?
