EMT Airway Exam – Verified Questions
& Answers | 100% Latest Update 2026
Aerobic Metabolism - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Metabolism that can
proceed only in the presence of oxygen
Agonal gasps - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Occasional, gasping breaths that
occur agter the heart has stopped
Airway - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔The upper airway tract or the passage
above the larynx, which include the nose, mouth and throat.
Alveolar Minute Volume - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔The volume of air
moved through the lungs in 1 minute minus dead space; calculated by
multiplying the tidal volume and resp. rate
Alveolar Ventilation - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Volume of air that reaches
the alveoli. It is determined by subtracting the amount of dead space
air from the tidal volume
American Standard Safety System - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔A safety
system for large oxygen cylinders, designed to prevent the accidental
attachment of regulator to a cylinder containing the wrong type of gas.
, Anaerobic Metabolism - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔metabolism that takes
place in the absence of oxygen; principle by product is lactic acid.
Apnea - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔absence of spontaneous breathing
Aspirations - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔the introduction of vomitus or other
foreign material into the lungs
Ataxic Respirations - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Irregular, ineffective
respirations that may or may not have an identifiable pattern
Automatic Transport Ventilator (ATV) - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔Ventilation device attached to a control box that allows
the variables of ventilation to be set. It frees the EMT to perform other
tasks while the patient is being ventilated
Bag-valve Mask (BVM) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔device with one way
valve and a face mask attached to a ventilation bag; when attached to
a reservoir and connected to oxygen, it delivers more than 90%
supplemental oxygen
Barrier device - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔a protective item such as a
pocket mask with a valve, that limits exposure to a patient's body
fluids
Bilateral - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔A body part or condition that appears
on both sides of the midline
Bronchioles - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Subdivision of the smaller bronchi
in the lungs; made of smooth muscle and dilate or constrict in
response to various stimuli
Copnography - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔a noninvasive method to quickly
and efficiently provide information on a patient's ventilatory status,
circulation and metabolism. Effectively measures the concentration of
CO2 in expired over time
