9001 ALS Airway Obstruction by Foreign Body and Respiratory Arrest VENTILATING ADEQUATELY? If yes, Maintain airway and O2 as necessary to maintain SpO2 ≥ 94% Monitor and reassess Transport If no, Visualize airway-use appropriate size laryngoscope blade and pediatric Magill forceps. Use least invasive airway management method possible to ensure adequate ventilation and oxygenation, as determined by O2 saturation and capnography monitoring (if available). Then, Begin with BVM assisted ventilation. Utilize intubation per Pediatric Airway Management Policy 8837 if BVM ventilation does not ensure adequate ventilation and oxygenation. All patients with advanced airways shall have end tidal CO2 detector or other approved confirming device. In addition, continuous waveform capnography will be utilized throughout transport and until transfer of care has occurred. BVM or Intubation successful? Then, Perform Blood Glucose determination. Treat per policy 9007- Pediatric Diabetic Emergencies Hypoglycemia (blood sugar < 60 mg/dL) Then, Initiate VASCULAR ACCESS. Titrate to a minimal Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) for patient's age.
