You are delivering positive pressure ventilations to a patient who is breathing poorly with absent breath sounds to the right lung. Which of the following instructions would you provide to those who are ventilating the patient?
A) Make sure to really get those ventilations into his good lung. He needs the oxygen.
B) Use the minimal tidal volume possible, just enough to make the chest rise and fall.
C) If his SpO2 is 85 or above, let's stop the ventilations and put him on high-concentration oxygen with a face mask.
D) Let's use just room air for the ventilations. We don't want to cause a tension pneumothorax by giving pure oxygen.
