Guest guest Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Since we have been on IM together I won't go into explanations. Where in the world is this pat on the back coming from??? My goodness. We all deserve peace and happiness but thanks dear heart for directing it my way. luv ya too. Sher ipf 5-06 Re: Re: Please give me some direction.Dear Joanie:When a person faints it is because of a temporary lack of oxygen being sent through the blood to the brain and frequently occurs after a severe coughing spell or over-exertion. If your husband faints, first make sure he is still breathing, if he isnt breathing check for a pulse. You should call 911 after you have checked his pulse and breathing and noted that he is either not breathing and/or has no pulse (that will be the first questions they ask of you). If he has a pulse but is not breathing, or is breathing very slowly (less than 4 breaths a minute) or shallowly then you can perform "Mouth-to-mouth on him, making sure you have tilted his head back slightly and pinched his nose closed so the air doesnt escape through it. If he is breathing NORMALLY, then you do not need to do "mouth-to-mouth, but you do need to make sure you have his oxygen on and turned up all the way. If you do mouth-to mouth when he ! is still breathing! he actually gets less oxygen than what he would get from his own oxygen tanks, as what you can give him is what you exhale which is air with only small amounts of oxygen left in it. What he needs is his oxygen turned up high. Have you discussed his coughing spells with his doctor and your concern he feels that he is going to faint? If not, you need to. Perhaps there is something he can be given to loosen the mucous so it is easier to cough up and so he wont have such rough coughing episodes. Doctors wont give something to suppress or stop the coughing but they can give something that thins the secretions so it is easier to cough the mucous up.Please let us know if we can help in any way even if only to listen for that is what we all are here for, each other.hugs,Carolyn-------Original Message-------From: bud_kilmon <mailto:bud_kilmon> Date: 11/07/06 19:29:03To: Breathe-Support Subject: Re: Please give me some direction.Dear and Carolyn,I fully appreciate your correspondence of yesterday. I feel like Iam watching my dear husband just get worse every week. His lipsturn blue after a particularly wrenching coughing spell. Sometimeshe feels like he is going to faint. What do I do if he faints? Iwill obviously call 911, but then what? Will mouth-to-mouth help atall? If I thought for one minute I could give my breath to him, Iwould start now.Looking forward to your reply - Love and light, Joanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
