Is an unresponsive patient still breathing?
Could be. Breathing is not a response. A person who is unconscious would be unresponsive and still breathing.
If the unresponsive victim breathing the best position for the victim is?
Turned on their side in case s/he vomits.
What will an infant in need of CPR show?
An infant in need of CPR will show no movement, breathing, or a pulse.
You must check adequate breathing before giving rescue breaths to an unresponsive adult victim?
Yes, if a person is already breathing there is no reason why you would need to breathe for them.
What Put a victim in the recovery position when the victim is?
Yes you should put a victim in a recovery position when victim is unresponsive and breathing.
What is a late symptom of shock?
Last symptoms of shock are depressed body functions; low pulse, low heart rate, shallow breathing, unresponsive.
Is there a way to save someone if their face turns purple?
If they're choking, perform the heimlich maneuver to remove the airway obstruction. If it isn't choking, really the only thing that you can do is wait until they become unresponsive and stop breathing. That's when you perform CPR. If you find them unresponsive then do CPR.
Does a person require CPR if they are unresponsive but is breathing adequately?
You would only administer CPR if the person does not have a pulse or (at a slightly lower place on the chest) if you knew/believed the person was choking. Otherwise, if the person has a pulse but is not breathing, you should administer rescue breaths.
Aniguana ittached itself to your screen you knocked it off it landed on the bushes and now seems unresponsive is it all right?
Umm...if it isn't breathing and it has no heart beat, it's probably dead... if not, and it's still breathing...get it to a vet...(here's my question: why would you do that?!)
Does a 911 call mean the paramedics will automatically do CPR if a patient has fallen down?
We perform required interventions based on the situation at hand. CPR may be required, or other treatments may be more appropriate. CPR is only performed on patients that are unresponsive, pulseless, and apneac (not breathing ). Don't meet those 3 requirements and CPR is not warranted.
After you open the airway and pinch the nose of an unresponsive adult or child what do you do?
When you open the airway, don't pinch the nose. Check for breathing and signs of life. If no breathing or signs of life, then pinch the nose and give 2 breaths. Only pinch the nose while giving breaths.
What is the breathing rate determined by the level of something in the blood?
The breathing rate is determined by the level of the carbon bi oxide. The increase in the concentration, increase the breathing rate. The decrease in the oxygen concentration should do the same thing. But the oxygen is poorly soluble. So it can not affect the breathing centre like the carbon bi oxide. The carbon bi oxide is highly soluble and it also alters the pH of the blood.
