As his respiration became shallow, it means that he is going to have difficulty in breathing, so it is best to have a device or assistance to be placed on him, in order to assist his breathing and ventilation. It is best to insert an airway adjuct to him, in order for his breath to widen and to insert a bag mask device, to assist his ventilations.

describe the human body response at the cell level to perceived starvation threats as when a person is dieting or ill, tell why
Anon25 [30]
Briefly, the human body response to starvation at a cellular level results in a reduced metabolic rate and a switching of 'food supply' for various cells. Glucose is a primary cellular food source used by all cells in the body. During starvation with no additional glucose available to the body, glycogen stores (glucose stores) are consumed and then the body turns to consuming fat stores and muscle tissue (protein) to fuel it's cells. This means fat and muscle tissue is broken down during starvation periods. In the past during long periods of starvation, the ability for the body to survive without food input for weeks was necessary for survival. Today, whilst starvation no doubt yields weight loss results, it comes at a price. During starvation muscle tissue is invariably lost as the body needs glucose to power the heart and brain cells, which rely almost exclusively on glucose (which cannot be liberated from the break down of fats). As the body loses muscle tissue, it also loses the ability to burn as much energy because muscles are a key energy user. The body also loses strength in general. It therefore is a hindrance to starve for modern weight loss objectives and a better option is high level of exercise with reduced calorific food intake. This will maintain muscle tissue and favour fat loss.
