Title: Lesson 8-3 Artificial Ventilations
Course: EMS 1119 Emergency Medical Technician > Section: Module VIII Airway Management, Respirations, and Artificial Ventilations

Demonstrate an understanding and proficiency in Artificial Ventilation techniques

At the end of this lesson and the associated lab activities students will be able to:

Cognitive Learning Objectives

- 8-3.1 Describe how to artificially ventilate a patient with a pocket mask
- 8-3.2 Describe the steps in performing the skill of artificially ventilating a patient with a BVM for one or two rescuers
- 8-3.3 Describe signs of adequate & inadequate artificial ventilation using the BVM
- 8-3.4 Describe the steps in artificially ventilating a patient with a manually triggered ventilation device
- 8-3.5 Demonstrate how to artificially ventilate the pediatric and geriatric patient
- 8-3.6 Describe  how to perform the Sellick maneuver (cricoid pressure)
- 8-3.7 Recognize the differences between normal and positive pressure ventilation

Affective Objectives

- 8-3.1 Explain the rationale for basic life support artificial ventilation and airway protective skills taking priority over most other basic life support skills
