If you have already activated the EAP and confirmed a spontaneous breath, what should you do next before assessing pulse and breathing?
Correct Answer:
Two Breathes
Explanation:
The main idea here is that ventilation should be verified and initiated before you move on to checking circulation. After you’ve activated the emergency plan and seen a spontaneous breath, you still need to establish effective ventilation right away. Giving two rescue breaths helps ensure the airway is open and air is actually entering the lungs, which confirms that oxygen is being delivered even as you prepare to assess the person’s circulation. If the chest doesn’t rise with those breaths, you would reposition the airway and try again. Once you’ve delivered those breaths and confirmed ventilation, you can proceed to assess the pulse and breathing to decide the next steps.
