If the pt is getting inflations down into the chest without an airway and you place a surgical airway and then resuscitate, won't it blow out the oro-nasopharynx instead of inflating the pt's lungs?
No. You place an ET tube with a cuff to keep ventilations from escaping and to hopefully prevent further aspiration.
