I'm BLS too... HOWEVER, around here, BLS is trained to follow "if A, do B" protocols... so they give high flow O2 to every patient.
If the patient isn't going to really need the additional O2, and are just in need of a LITTLE O2... no sense covering their face with a big mask, and raising their anxiety and stress, as well as making it harder to understand them.
Same here.. I mean, I understand if the patient is satting well on R/A and not working hard than NC would work. It's weird tho.. cuz in class, the teacher said O2 O2 O2 for MI's.
