2. If necessary, insert a Guedel tube to keep the
airways open before putting on the mask.
3. Place the mask over the patient's mouth and
nose.
4. Tilt the head back and use the E-C technique
ensure the mask is hermetically sealed.
Intubation
The patient will normally be intubated before the
tube is connected to the patient valve.
1. Attach the patient valve to the connector of the
tracheal tube.
2. Monitor the respiratory parameters during venti-
lation. This will indicate whether the tube is cor-
rectly positioned and ventilation is adequate.
The patient must be monitored constantly during
ventilation.
You can read off ventilation pressure on the ventila-
tion pressure gauge.
High airway resistance, as a result of obstructions or
external cardiac massage for example, will change
