In CPR, if the airway is open and the patient was given rescue breaths and the air is not going in, there may be something lodged in the patients throat, and the Heimlich maneuver should be performed.

If the patient is not breathing, after giving 30 chest compressions or straight away in a child or someone who has drowned
How many rescue breaths are given to an infant in 2 minutes?
none.
Why emetics not given to unconscious patient?
Because - an emetic is given to force the patient vomit. If given to an unconscious patient - the patient could choke if the vomit enters the airway.
Why is it 15 compressions with 2 rescuers on infants?
It isn't, and this is in fact incorrect.The correct procedure for infants and children is to start with 5 rescue breaths before chest compressions are even given. Once the 5 rescue breaths have been given the normal ratio of chest compressions to rescue breaths should be given (30/2).It should also be noted that the depth should be changed to a third of the depth of an adult for child and infant casualties. And of course child-1 hand, infant-2 fingers.
Do you start CPR with compressions?
If the casualty is an adult then start with compressions. If the casualty is an adult, but has come out of water then 5 rescue breaths should be given before the usual 30/2 is given. If the casualty is a child or infant out of water or not you should start with 5 rescue breaths then continue with the usual 30/2.
When do you give someone Rescue Breaths compared to Cardio Pulmonary?
Rescue breathing is given to a patient in respiratory arrest but still has a strong pulse. =Often, in my experience, it's infants that go into respiratory arrest rather than heart failure because their little hearts want to beat - they don't have the problems that adults do that puts strain on the heart like stress, obecity and cholesterol.==Rescue breathing for adults, (8 years and up) - 1 breath every 5 seconds.==Rescue breathing for children, (1 - 8 years) - 1 breath every 3 seconds.==Rescue breathing for infants, (1 - 12 months) - 1 puff every 3 seconds.=
How many initial rescue breaths should be given for a child or infant?
Five initial rescue breaths are given to children and infants. This aids in oxygenating the blood to stimulate breathing prior to beginning chest compressions.
What is the procedure for CPR?
Check out ProCPR's Free CPR Training Video Library at the related link. There, you'll find high quality video demonstrations for CPR. First determine if the patient has signs of life; open airway head tilt chin lift method. If no signs of life, give 2 breaths. Now it is time to start the CPR cycles. Give 30 compressions, followed by 2 breaths. Repeat 30 compressions / 2 breaths until EMS arrives to take over. Check for pulse. Give 2 rescue breaths. Give 30 chest compressions. See related links
After weeks on a ventilator does a patient have to have a tracheotomy?
No, but if the patient is awake and alert and still needs the help of the venilator, then a trach is normally given, so they can have a secure airway, and came be on a mobile ventilator and not stuck in bed
How many breaths per second after you open the airway for unresponsive child or adult?
An adult who shows signs of life should NOT be given cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). CPR should only be given when all signs of life are absent. CPR should be given if the patient has the following: 1. Does not have a pulse. 2. Breathing is not present. 3. Is not moving. Common sense should be used when administering CPR. Patients who are incompatible with life (i.e. full decapitation) should not be administered CPR. Focus on other patients who may have a bigger chance of survival.
Why do you not give large breaths during rescue breathing?
That question is not fully correct. When doing mouth to mouth rescue breaths, it is important to inflate the chest completely by blowing a strong breath into the patients mouth. In an infant or child, you are advised not to take a full breath in because any excess air goes to the stomach and is regurgitated in the form of vomit. If you are sufficiently trained to use a device that replaces rescue breathing (known as a bag-mask) be careful not to squeeze the bag fully as any excess air will travel down to the stomach and the patients stomach contents will be expelled through the mouth. This is not only unpleasant, it poses an airway obstruction threat. In summary, inflate the patient's chest fully and wait for it to rise down between each breath. You should only allocated a maximum of three seconds for theo two breaths before going back to chest compressions. Compressions are more important than rescue breathing.
When giving rescue breaths to a child you should give 1 breath about?
A rescue breath should be given over a period of 1 second.
