If there is resistance to the BVM when ventilating a tracheostomy patient the EMT should check air is escaping through a hole in the lung and filling the pleural space.
<h3>What is tracheostomy?</h3>
A tracheostomy is a hole made in the front of the neck to allow a tube to be inserted into the windpipe trachea to assist breathing.
The tube can be connected to an oxygen supply and a breathing machine called a ventilator if necessary.
Individuals notice increased resistance to ventilations while ventilating an intubated patient with a bag-valve-mask-unit. This could mean that air is escaping from the lung and filling the pleural space.
Thus, the EMT should check for this.
