Unless the asualty has sustaine signifiant lunt trauma.. All the aove.

24 70. A nasopharyngeal airway is etter than an oropharyngeal airway eause: a. It is less likely to ause gagging in a onsious asualty.. It oes not nee to e tape in plae.. A asualty has two nostrils ut only one mouth.. It is heaper. a 71. The est site to insert a neele to eompress a tension pneumothorax is: a. The seon ICS at the MCL.

34 100. During Care Uner Fire when the asualty an the mei are uner effetive hostile fire, the est loation to apply a lim tourniquet when the most proximal soure of leeing is not reaily visile is: a. Three inhes aove the most proximal loo stain on the asualty s uniform.. Over the asualty s uniform as high on the injure lim as possile.. Two to three inhes aove the most proximal woun you an fin after utting the asualty s uniform away to expose the entire injure lim.. Two to three inhes aove the joint that is immeiately proximal to the loo on the asualty s uniform, if it is possile to apply a lim tourniquet there The phrase tourniquet onversion refers to: a. Removing a lim tourniquet after surgial ontrol of hemorrhage has een ahieve.. Removing a lim tourniquet that was erroneously plae on an unwoune lim..

When properly applie, a lim tourniquet will stop leeing from istal wouns an eliminate istal pulses.. If a lim tourniquet is not applie tightly enough, it may olue venous return ut not arterial flow into the lim istally, leaing to ompartment synrome.. One a lim tourniquet has een applie tightly enough to stop leeing an eliminate istal pulses, re-leeing from istal wouns is unommon.. You an apply a seon lim tourniquet sie-y-sie with the first if the first fails to stop leeing an eliminate pulses.

35 103. Whih of the following is NOT an iniation that a lim tourniquet shoul e onverte as soon as possile? a. The tourniquet is not plae aove an amputation.. The asualty is not in shok..

If the Cri-Key is inserte uner the skin overlying the trahea, the tip will proue visile tenting of the skin in front of the nek.. The Melker airway is flange, an therefore unlikely to isappear own the asualty s trahea.. The Cri-Key eliminates the nee to make an inision through the riothyroi memrane You are treating a asualty whose only injury is a shrapnel woun to the insie of his left arm high up in his armpit. Bloo is flowing heavily from the woun. The woun trat is eep an narrow, an too proximal to get a lim tourniquet aove it. You have alreay use your only CRoC on another asualty.
