Q

This was once thought to reduce complications associated with positive pressure ventilation when the unresponsive patient’s airway is not protected by an advanced airway device. This technique was intended to reduce the incidence of gastric inflation, regurgitation, and aspiration of gastric contents. (sellick maneuver)

Is a form of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation used in the awake and spontaneously breathing patient who needs ventilator support

A

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)

53
