Ch. 10
Review the following real-life situation. Then answer the questions that follow.
A heavy rain is running off the ambulance windshield in rivulets as you pull up to a difficulty breathing call at a small, plain house on the east side of town. âIs that our patient?â Your partner squints through the downpour at a figure huddled on the cluttered front porch. Deep, rumbling thunder drowns your reply as you both make your way across the muddy yard to the front of the house, completing a scene size-up as you go.
âHelp . . . ,â the man on the porch says in a barely audible hiss, punctuated by struggling respirations. In the glow of your flashlight you see that the manâs lips are bluing, his face is pale, and his eyes show pure exhaustion. As you kneel to introduce yourself and reassure the patient that you are going to help him to breathe, your partner unzips the airway bag. The man looks slowly from you to your partner, slumps against the railing, and stops breathing.
1. After positioning the patient and ensuring a patent airway, what would your first priority be?
2. Would you say that this patient is in respiratory failure ? Why or why not?
3. If your partner discovered that the bag-valve mask was missing from the supplies in the airway bag, what would you do?
4. What potential side effects of positive pressure ventilation should you be alert for when treating this patient?
