Optimizing Airway Management and Ventilation in CPR Resuscitation
This chapter explores the importance of using an endotracheal tube over a supraglottic airway device during CPR to protect the airway and reduce the risk of aspiration. It delves into strategies such as using a nasogastric tube to decompress the stomach, ventilation techniques for drowning patients, and monitoring for complications like arrhythmia and fluid shifts. Furthermore, the discussion includes outcomes and management strategies for drowning events, emphasizing the difficulties in terminating resuscitation and recognizing life extinct in ALS patients after a drowning incident.
