present.

Laryngospasm
(Prehospital
Only)
Closes the patient’s vocal cords and
prevents both ventilation and
intubation.
From the Run

Respiratory and
adjust
Laryngospasm
toggle.

Posterior
Pharynx
Swelling/
Airway
Occlusion
Swelling of the posterior
oropharynx (posterior airway
occlusion) obstructs the view of the
larynx and prevents intubation, but
allows mask ventilation of the
patient’s lungs, thereby creating a
“cannot intubate, can ventilate”
scenario.
From the Run
Screen, tap
Respiratory and
adjust Airway
Occlusion toggle.
