Respiratory Arrest 3

Respiratory Arrest 1

Respiratory Arrest 4

Respiratory Arrest 2

The patient is a 6-month old who became apneic in his crib. The parents are very panicked and are screaming for you to help. The infant is very blue. The patient will have a continue having a pulse as long as he is ventilated. Without ventilations the SPO2 will be 78%, but will climb to 97% if ventilated with oxygen. The patient will tolerate an oral airway. Force students to bag with 2-person technique, and to develop timing and hand dexterity. After 4 minutes of bagging, the infant will cry loudly and move arms and legs vigorously and need only blow- by technique. Does not open airway manually Selects inappropriate ventilation device Fails to ventilate at 1 breath / 3-5 seconds Fails to insert adjunct Unacceptable adjunct technique Unable to create visible chest rise Does not connect device to oxygen Does not monitor SPO2 Did not transition infant to blow-by technique Were ventilations promptly provided? Were monitoring devices placed before critical care was provided? Discuss the significance of aggressive respiratory care in this case Why couldn’t a NRB be placed on this infant? Debriefing Points: Critical Criteria

The patient is an 84-year-old who has collapsed after being confused and having slurred speech for 20 minutes. He has a pulse, but is not breathing . The patient will have a continue having a pulse as long as he is ventilated. Without ventilations the SPO2 will be 84%, but will climb to 96% if ventilated with oxygen. The patient will tolerate an oral airway. Force students to bag with 2-person technique, and to develop timing and hand dexterity.

The patient is a 3-year-old who has been hit by a car. The mother tells you he was tossed 10 feet and hit his head on the pavement. There is a large laceration to the head. The patient will have a continue having a pulse as long as he is ventilated. Without ventilations the SPO2 will be 84%, but will climb to 96% if ventilated with oxygen. The patient will tolerate an oral airway. Force students to bag with 2-person technique, and to develop timing and hand dexterity.

The patient is a 32-year-old dragged out of a vat at a chemical plant. He was cleaning the vat when the chemical fumes in the container overcame him. The patient will have a continue having a pulse as long as he is ventilated. Without ventilations the SPO2 will be 68%, but will climb to 93% if ventilated with oxygen. The patient will tolerate an oral airway, but will reject it 2 minutes after being bagged. Force students to bag with 2-person technique, and to develop timing and hand dexterity. The patient will become responsive after a total of 4 minutes of ventilation and only need a NRB mask after that. Does not open airway manually Selects inappropriate ventilation device Fails to ventilate at 1 breath / 5-6 seconds Fails to insert adjunct Unacceptable adjunct technique Unable to create visible chest rise Does not connect device to oxygen Does not monitor SPO2 Does not provide NRB to responsive patient Critical Criteria
