While using a bag-valve-mask to ventilate an unconscious

Health

Evgen [1.6K]2 years ago

The potential complication that can be ensued by the patient are:

  • They could choke on their tongue.
  • They are more likely to lose their gag reflex.

The bag-valve-mask ventilation is a critical emergency skill and a management approach that permits patients to be oxygenated and ventilated until a more positive airway can be maintained.

This process can be achieved by using an OPA (oropharyngeal airway) method, or An NPA (nasopharyngeal airway) method. 

An EMS provider is an Emergency Medical Service Provider. When an EMS provider inadvertently forgets to insert an oral airway adjunct (OPA), the potential complication for the patient will be:

  • Occlusion of the airway due to choking on their tongue when the patient is lying in the supine position.
  • Similarly, the contraindication of using an OPA method is if the patient has a gag reflex, which can potentially make the patient lose their gag reflex.

How does drug abuse affect society and what are the consequences of drug abuse in America?
Marta_Voda [28]

Explanation:

drug addicts are looked down upon and shunned by society—their drug abuse is their own problem and they are just hurting themselves. But that is a narrow view of what is a large-scale societal issue. Drug addiction is not just a compulsion but an actual disease that requires treatment and compassion, just like any other chronic health condition.

social consequences of drug abuse HIV/AIDS (human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome), violence, tuberculosis, fetal effects, crime, and disruptions in family, workplace, and educational environments (Box 7.1)-have devastating impacts on society and exact a cost of billions of dollars annually.
