While you are inserting an oropharyngeal airway into a patient's mouth, he begins to gag and then vomit. how should you respond?

Hello! If this takes place, then the EMT probably did not use the correct method. They should tilt the head while keeping the chin up. This prevents them from being able to gag. You would not want to change the oxygen flow because that one was probably correct for their situation. So just remove the air supply and follow the head tilt-chin lift procedure.

I hope this helped!

I am, yours most sincerely,

What type of glial cell acts locally to maintain normal electrolyte composition of the cerebrospinal fluid?

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Astrocytes

Explanation:

Astrocytes are specialized glial cells found in the brain and spinal cord, they are responsible for maintaining the electrolytic composition of the cerebrospinal fluid, induce the formation of the blood-brain barrier and act as a support and guide for neurons during migration. They keep the ionic composition of the extracellular fluid of the central nervous system through the water channels, Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) and K channels, located in the pedicle processes of the astrocytes in the perivascular space, these cells exchange K and water in said perivascular medium away from the neurons. Astrocytes selectively edematize during hypotonic stress, while neurons do not.

Cigarette smoke contains carbon monoxide. Explain how this

Olegator [25]

Answer: Carbon Monoxide is a very harmful and toxic gas which is formed from incomplete combustion of carbon.

Explanation: red blood cells contain haemoglobin ,which are responsible for carrying oxygen into our body system. So oxygen combines with haemagoblin to form oxyhaemogoblin in the red blood cells .

so if a person starts to intake cigarettes which contain high amounts of carbon monoxide ,it reduces oxyhaemogoblin formation because it binds very tightly to the haemogoblin .then carboxyhaemogoblin is formed and its permanent so causing reduction in aerobic respiration, and reduction in oxygen transport and causing damages to heart muscles.

Hope this helps if you need any more explanation feel free to comment in the comment section below !!!
