Your videos are some of the best on the web. Well done. Minor suggestion, but you should also be looking for signs of gastric distention when ensuring proper ventilation.
I’m an OFA 3 and I am scratching my head atm… Wondering if there is a reason why he checked the carotid pulse before the airway/ breathing?? I am super appreciative of these videos and I have to agree with many other comments here that you guys literally are the best when it comes to helpful videos for learning.
@noelletufts1550 If you ventilate a patient incorrectly, you will send air into the stomach instead of the lungs, which can cause the patient to vomit.
@@noelletufts1550If you aren’t bagging properly, the air isn’t getting to the lungs and it’ll go into the stomach causing gastric distention. Just make sure you are looking for equal chest rise, you have a good CE grip with your fingers, and you don’t hear any stomach sounds
@@CarlBrown-zg6te yes in the emt school but actually you don’t need to do that every time . Make sure you are not going to suck it not more than 15 secs
From 'Proximal' to the head, tilt chin lift right away. Assess airway and breathing and slide hand down to check carotid. Roll patient to lateral, sweep with finger to clean out teeth . If still gurgling use suction for no more than 20 seconds and assess again. What about the airway on an unconscious patient?? Or who is holding head tilt chin lift?? Patient is unresponsive so that puts him/her or whatever pronoun is appropriate these days in the RTC category.
Finger sweeps are still taught! It's to take out big chunks that can't be taken out with suction or may clog it. Unresponsive can imply unconscious; you do the head tilt chin lift to open the airway and the patient typically stays in position or can be held by your partner.
You guys are awesome. Your videos have been so helpful. Great team.

You'd give CPR if there wasn't any pulse
Great video and very helpful for review. Thanks!
another sure sign that you are delivering air properly is the patient hasn't vomited all over you yet.
Im still learning, just got my OFA3 but what is the reasoning behind this statement? As vomiting is involuntary. I’m curious, thought I’d ask 👍

Adequate depth and bilateral chest rise and fall
No ppe?
'Standard Precautions' is another way of announcing application of PPE/BSI!
@@twizm9236Good to know
forgot to measure the length of the suction tip:(
but great video! thanks for the help!
i saw that but they had a way to tell that it wasnt so in it was gonna be harmful to the patient...
I believe the skill sheet doesn’t have us measured the length of the tip.
@@yeseniagarza9343 yes it does. You need to measure it properly or it’s a fail point.

These guys know what they are doing.

Who told you to finger sweep a patients airway? That’s bad practice. If you can see secretions you suck, if not you don’t reach around to find them.
Finger sweeps are the past. No longer accepted practice plus

That’s where I am a bit confused as well- on checking C before A-B?
