Describe the full-face mask interface.
What will be an ideal response?
Full-face mask covers almost the entire face of a patient. It is easy to fit and apply for new patients because of its large size. The size of this mask is able to cover the nose bridge and mouth without making direct contacts. For this reason, it does not inherit problems with air leaks and pressure sores around the nose and mouth. The full-face mask is ideal for claustrophobic patients, mouth breathers, and patients without teeth or with facial abnormalities.

You have been called to a public pool for an unresponsive patient. On arrival, you find lifeguards performing CPR with a pocket mask and oxygen on a 67-year-old male swimmer. They report that the patient was in the water and was seen clutching his chest seconds before going unresponsive. He was immediately pulled from the water and CPR was initiated. The lifeguards estimate that CPR has been performed for 5 minutes. Assessment shows the man to be unresponsive, apneic, and pulseless. What should be your first response?
A) "Stop CPR and let's apply the AED." B) "We need to quickly dry him from head to toe before applying the AED." C) "Let's start ventilation with a bag-valve mask and oxygen." D) "Resume CPR and let's take a towel and dry off his chest so we can apply the AED electrodes."
