∙ 14y agoIn an unconscious victim you perform CPR the same for an obstructed airway as you would for regular CPR with one exception, before attempting ventilation you should look for the object in the mouth and if you see it, remove it. But never perform a blind finger sweep!

The sound is called a stridor (high pitched wheezing). See related link. The answer is rhonchus or rhonchi, which is loud rumbling sounds heard on auscultation (during inhalation) of bronchi obstructed by sputum.

Maintain an open airway and give breaths.
Giving very large breaths during rescue breathing can force air to reach the stomach, causing the patient to vomit. Vomiting while the patient is unconscious poses a risk to airway management as it may become obstructed. Furthermore, you do not have time to be giving very slow, forceful breaths are chest compressions take precedence in cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
After a person has been intubated, chest compressions are no longer interrupted to do ventilations. Instead, chest compressions are done continuously, and ventilations are done simultaneously at a rate of one breath every 6 to 8 seconds. This is because now that the patient is intubated, (assuming placement of the tube has been confirmed) the airway is open, so the rescuers no longer have to stop compressions to open the airway and check for chest rise.
use only two fingers to push, place them in the middle of the chest between the two nipples, and compress the chest firmly but gently
Use 30 compressions to 2 breaths.
During CPR, the chest compressions are applied; during rescue breathing there are no chest compressions used.
When giving rescue breaths, blow slowly and steadily with good head position. This technique minimizes air in the stomach.To minimize air entering the stomach make sure the head is well tipped back, and dont blow too hard or too long
the same as you would with a person, just careful. ======================================== When performing CPR on an infant you should only use the fore- and middle fingers on each hand rather than the whole hand.
The two most common sleep problems are sleep apnea and insomnia. Sleep apnea occurs when the airway is partially obstructed during sleep, causing the sleeper to wake up slightly. Insomnia is an inability to fall asleep.
