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.

exactly…you should never put anything (except maybe an oropharangeal airway) into an unconcious persons mouth

I read you can use a tube of cake icing if they’re unconscious in their mouth/gums to be absorbed through the skin. That way they won’t choke on it.
I’m an EMT and this works quite well. Just remember to smear it on the gums or under the tongue. Don’t just squirt it into their mouth.exactly…you should never put anything (except maybe an oropharangeal airway) into an unconcious persons mouth

Pack a protein snack of some kind to. The glucose works quickly and the protein helps keep his blood sugar even.
The mre peanutbutter packs are great for this.Andy Wayne said: ↑
