CSE RRT 2026 QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS| ACE YOUR GRADES.
When and how is diagnosis of BPD made? - correct answer --in
newborns who are oxygen-dependent and have an abnormal
CXR after 28 days of age
BPD pathology: - correct answer --tachypnea, retractions and
persistent cyanosis
-lengthy ventilator course (>14 days) associated with poor
response to therapy
BPD Xray: - correct answer --small areas of lucency alternating
with areas of irregular densities
Prevention of BPD: - correct answer --lung protection strategies
when mechanical ventilation is required
-titrate FiO2 to use lowest level possible
-proper nutritional therapy
-corticosteroids
, Page | 2
Corticosteroids used for BPD: - correct answer -— budesonide
(Brand name Pulmicort Respules®)
— fluticasone (Brand name Flovent®)
-dexamethasone? possibly
Treatment of BPD: - correct answer --supplemental low flow O2
therapy as required
-careful fluid management
-diuretics to reduce lung edema
-bronchopulmonary hygiene
-bronchodilators
___ ___ ___: structural abnormalities of the heart present at birth
- correct answer -congenital heart defects
the most serious congenital heart defects create ___ ___ ___
_____, resulting in severe hypoxemia - correct answer --right to
left shunting
, Page | 3
The most severe congenital heart defects which cause right to left
shunting are: - correct answer --tetralogy of fallot
-transposition of the great vessels
___ ___ ___: overriding aorta, pulmonary stenosis, ventricular
septal defect, and right ventricular hypertrophy - correct answer --
tetralogy of fallot
____ __ __ ___ ___:aorta is switched with pulmonary artery
(aorta arises from the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery
arises from the left ventricle) - correct answer --transposition of
the great vessels
congenital heart defects pathology: - correct answer --cyanosis
-tachypnea
-normal BS, loud heart murmur
CXR in transposition of the great vessels. - correct answer --egg
shaped heart
, Page | 4
CXR of tetralogy of fallot - correct answer --boot shaped heart
___ most important diagnostic test to ID cardiac defects - correct
answer -ECG
Pre and post ductal blood gas studies in congenital heart defects:
- correct answer --If the pre ductal (right radial artery) PO2 is >15
torr higher than the post ductal (umbilical artery) PO2, then the
patient has a right to left shunt
-Can also be evaluated using two transcutaneous monitors. One
placed on the upper right thorax (pre ductal) and the other on the
lower left thigh or left abdominal region (post ductal)
pre ductal transcutaneous monitor placed where? - correct
answer --upper right thorax
post ductal transcutaneous monitor placed where? - correct
answer --lower left thigh or lower abdominal region
