exactly…you should never put anything (except maybe an oropharangeal airway) into an unconcious persons mouth
My response would depend on the location (Rural or back country). Unless you know the person, or saw them pass out and are certain that they did not pass out for a reason other then diabetes i would never put anything in their mouth. It is one of the body’s natural responses to food in the mouth to salivate, and that could be enough to asphixiate patient.
In the back country however if i had a prolonged transport time for the patient to proper care, I would only place some sugary substance between the patient’s cheen and gum if i could lay them in the recovery position (gluecose side down), and if there were no other gross medical issues with the patient.
over all though it’s very risky putting simething in an unconciou patient’s mouth, and most of the time the best they can get is glucose saline solution via IV.
