Airway & VentilationCâu 9 / 100
A patient breathing 6 times per minute with shallow effort is best managed by an EMT with:
a.Positive-pressure ventilation with a bag-valve mask and supplemental oxygen
b.A nasal cannula at 2 L/min
c.A nonrebreather mask only
d.Encouraging the patient to breathe faster
Giải thích
A rate of 6 with shallow depth produces inadequate minute volume, so the patient needs assisted positive-pressure ventilation, not just passive oxygen. A BVM with oxygen restores adequate tidal volume and rate.
