  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.

  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.
