benasack2000 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Hey guys. After you have inserted an OPA during CPR, do you have to keep doing the head tilt chin lift during ventilation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubanurse Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 You know what would answer this question for you? Taking an EMT class. Unless you have been fully trained on when and how to insert OPA's you have no business using them as they can cause much more damage if used improperly. And if you have received training on OPA use then you would know the answer to this question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariB Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 While you were being trained to use it, they didn't go over this? For some reason, I figures he had training in this. Oh my.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubanurse Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 We have been extremely patient with you. If you did have the training required then you would know this answer or at least have a textbook/course book to look up the answer. Shouting at us and demanding answers is not going to help you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
