Insert an oral or nasal pharyngeal airway
Assure that oxygen is attached to the O2 reservoir
Tip the patient’s head back further and reattempt to ventilate
Have an assistant secure the mask to the patient’s face while immobilizing the head

Which of the following BEST explains why we perform chin lifts when opening a patient’s airway?

It indirectly lifts the epiglottis
It indirectly lifts the tongue up
It increases the glottic opening

You are assisting in the care of a cardiac arrest patient. Your partner is ventilating the patient with a bag valve mask (BVM). Other rescuers arrive and take over chest compressions and possible defibrillation. You can see there is no chest rise when your partner ventilates the patient. Which of the following should you choose next to improve this situation?
Attach oxygen flow to the BVM
Evaluate the patient for pneumothorax
