Title: You are on the scene of a 22-year-old female patient who is unresponsive. The patient's mother state Post by: lovesong on Nov 4, 2015 You are on the scene of a 22-year-old female patient who is unresponsive. The patient's mother states that she is deathly allergic to peanuts and accidentally ate stir fry cooked in peanut oil. The patient is unresponsive with agonal respirations at 6 per minute. You insert an oral airway and administer oxygen at 15 liters per minute by bag-valve mask. You notice that it is difficult to bag the patient. Your partner listens to lung sounds and states they are very diminished in the upper fields and absent in the lower fields. What is the BEST action?
A) Hyperventilate the patient. B) Request an ALS unit. C) Request orders from medical control for an emergency cricothyroidotomy. D) Request orders from medical control to administer epinephrine.
