Why does the stomach increase in size when performing CPR?
If the stomach is increasing in size, you are likely using an advanced airway such as an EMT or Paramedic uses.This should not be happening. It means your airway leads into the stomach, not the lungs. If you're using a Combitube, switch from your current tube to your secondary. If you're using a King or other airway, you may need to remove the tube and try again.Beware, the victim may vomit.
Do you use the same technique for chest compressions during CPR as when giving care for an obstructed airway?
In an unconscious victim you perform CPR the same for an obstructed airway as you would for regular CPR with one exception, before attempting ventilation you should look for the object in the mouth and if you see it, remove it. But never perform a blind finger sweep!

What is the ventilation rate of Industrial Ventilation?
The ventilation rate of industrial ventilation should exceed the supply rate by 10%. There is a detailed description of these rates in the Lab Ventilation ACH Rates Standards and Guidelines manual.
Should you maintain an open airway for an fracture?
If there is no other chest or abdominal injury, and the patient is awake and conscious there is no need to worry about the airway
How do you open the airway during CPR?
No.Once an advanced airway is emplaced and confirmed, chest compressions should be performed continuously at a rate of at least 100 per minute. Simultaneously, you should deliver ventilations every 3-5 seconds using the bag-valve-mask
