In case of clearing airway one of the following is not included –
**Core Concept**
The clearing of an airway is a crucial step in the management of a patient who is unconscious or has a compromised airway. This process involves removing any obstructions or debris from the airway to establish a patent airway, ensuring adequate oxygenation and ventilation.
**Why the Correct Answer is Right**
The correct answer includes the following steps for clearing an airway:
* **Option B:** Suctioning of the airway, which is typically done using a suction catheter to remove any secretions or debris from the airway.
* **Option C:** Jaw-thrust maneuver, which helps to open the airway by lifting the jaw and moving the tongue forward.
* **Option D:** Chin lift, which is another method of opening the airway by lifting the chin and moving the tongue forward.
**Why Each Wrong Option is Incorrect**
* **Option A:** There is no specific technique or action that is universally accepted as a standard step in clearing an airway. However, if we consider a common first aid technique, it could be the "back blows" or "blow to the back" which is often not included in the airway clearing techniques.
* **Option B:** Suctioning of the airway is a critical step, but it is not the only step. However, the other options are also standard techniques for clearing the airway.
**Clinical Pearl / High-Yield Fact**
When clearing an airway, it is essential to remember the ABCDE approach: Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Disability, and Exposure. The airway should be cleared first to ensure adequate oxygenation and ventilation.
**Correct Answer: B. Suctioning of the airway.**
