Question

An unresponsive 10-year-old male was struck by a car while riding his bike. He has blood on his face and presents with snoring respirations. Respirations are approximately 10 breaths per minute, with cyanosis noted to his extremities. Manual spine motion restriction to the neck is being held by Emergency Medical Responders. What should you do next?

Answer 1

Performance of jaw-thrust maneuver

Explanation:

• The medical emergency services provide medical facilities to individuals. The service can be provided in case of accidents, sudden injury, heart attack, and other medical situations.
• The individual should provide the emergency first aid that prevents the individual tongue from the obstruction of his upper airways. The maneuver is mainly performed on the supine patient. This first aid provides the proper oxygen in the patient's body.
• The occluded teeth typically forestall progress ahead of the mandible, and the thumbs must discourage the mentum while the fingers hold mandible and lift it upward. This results in the mandibular teeth projecting before the maxillary teeth (after the mouth opens slightly)
