You are assessing a 440-lb man who complains of shortness of breath and lower back pain. The patient is conscious and alert, his blood pressure is 148/98 mm Hg, and his heart rate is 120 beats/min. Your MOST immediate action should be to:
A. avoid placing him in a supine position if possible and administer oxygen. B. notify the receiving facility and advise them of the patient's weight and status. C. perform a secondary assessment, focusing on his respiratory system and back. D. ask a member of your team to locate the best route to move him to the ambulance.
During your primary assessment of a 21-year-old man with a suspected inhalation injury, you note that he is combative and his respirations are profoundly labored and stridorous. The closest appropriate medical facility is approximately 25 miles by ground, and the local air transport service is unavailable. You should:
A) provide supplemental oxygen via nonrebreathing mask, insert an intraosseous catheter, and administer a sedative medication. B) assist ventilations with a bag-mask device, start an IV, administer a sedative and a neuromuscular blocker, and intubate his trachea. C) administer humidified oxygen, start at least one large-bore IV, and visualize his upper airway to assess the severity of soft-tissue swelling. D) insert an oropharyngeal airway, ventilate him with a bag-mask device at 20 breaths/min, and prepare to nasotracheally intubate him.
The narrowest portion of the adult's trachea is the:
A. cricoid ring. B. cricoid cartilage. C. glottic opening. D. thyroid cartilage.
