I suppose my mind can conjure up some pretty dreadful events. Is it just me or does everyone keep imagining car accidents, someone fainting, etc, in their mind while walking down the streets looking at the day to day event? That's how
I came up with this scenario, and in this scenario, I wasn't 100% sure if I'd do the right thing!
FireMedicChick your reply is great and makes a whole lot of sense to me, especially when mentioning nasal cannula. Would it be fair to say that using nasal cannula is recommended when the patient has lots of mouth secretions? What about using both nasal cannula AND oxygen mask? Is that even possible?
Yes, first move as always is call 911
Valid point!
My worry is causing neck injury if I keep playing with his position too much, but very valid point
I recently had a care accident and my car was total. I have fracture ribs and currently going under Physical Therapy... A month 1/2, after the Therapy started I went to floss my teeth and a flood of blood occurred. My husband ran and got lots of gauges to try to stop the bleeding...which took more than 15 minutes. I went back to Physical Therapy the next day and mentioned what happen....They were reluctant to acknowledged that the cause of this event was the car accident...I plan to go to a Neurologist as I need to make sure that this event was not caused by the car accident. What do you think?
