Hi all, new EMT here with a question that I would like input. If a patient having foamy sputum constantly coming from mouth and spitting up would you still stick with a NRB when suction was frequently required? Suction was causing a gag reflex (patient was alert) and I didn't want to risk vomiting inside the NRB or more airway complications after slapping it back on so I kept a NC at flow rate of 6. Spo2 reading at constant mid 80's.
