You are treating the victim of a shooting who has an open chest wound that has been covered by an occlusive dressing. You notice the patient is now anxious, short of breath, and tachycardic. Your next action should be:
 
  A) insert a supraglottic airway rapidly.
  B) defibrillate at 200J if heart rate exceeds 200 bpm.
  C) establish large-bore IVs and administer fluid.
  D) remove one side of the occlusive dressing.

Question 2

  B) eliminates the need for a face-to-mask seal.
  C) does not require direct visualization of the larynx.
  D) can only be passed orally.
