State the sequence of interventions in PALS for a child with an obstructed airway.

The sequence of interventions in Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) for a child with an obstructed airway emphasizes the importance of quickly assessing and addressing the airway obstruction. The correct intervention involves first assessing the airway to determine if there is indeed an obstruction and the severity of it.

After the assessment, if there is clear evidence of a complete or severe obstruction, immediate actions such as providing back blows and abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) are performed to attempt to relieve the obstruction. These methods are aimed at creating sufficient pressure to expel any foreign object that may be blocking the airway.

If these initial interventions prove insufficient in resolving the obstruction, then advanced airway management techniques may be considered. This progression is crucial because timely identification and action can prevent serious complications or death due to lack of effective ventilation.

Other interventions, such as those involving administering drugs or initiating CPR, are not the primary response to a clear airway obstruction where immediate resolving techniques are necessary. The focus remains on addressing the airway, as a child's ability to breathe is critical for their survival.
