What should you do after performing chest compressions on an unresponsive adult with airway obstruction?
After the compressions, look in the mouth and if you see the object, sweep it out. If not, attempt to ventilate again; if breaths don't go in, repeat: compressions, look, sweep if object seen, and attempt to ventilate.
What is the most common cause of airway obstruction in an unconscious supine patient?
The most common cause of airway obstruction in any patient - supine or not - is the tongue. This is why the first maneuver that should be performed on a patient not breathing is the head-tilt/chin-lift or the jaw thrust. This is to help clear the tongue from the airway and may allow the person to breathe again.
