You can give 02 or ventilate with an airway full of fluid or blood, so you have to clear it first. Try ventilating with BVM, you only fill the lungs with fluid !
Of course, no one likes that. Unfortunately, you can’t oxygenate or ventilate a patient when the oral cavity is severely contaminated. Prior to Jim DuCanto developing the SALAD procedure (not talking about SGAs) there wasn’t a simple and effective strategy to quickly decontaminate an airway filled with vomit or blood. If memory serves Jim has modified this technique since this video was recorded, and knowing Jim, it’s even better, faster. If you’re not familiar with the original technique check out this video: vimeo.com/158978573
@@TomBouthillet Yes, thanks for the response. I agree. I think I was expecting him to move a little faster but it's only a demonstration....haha. I think he was moving really slow on purpose just to show how to do it.

Great demonstration. I just don't like the part with at least 90 seconds with no oxgenation or ventilation. : 0
