NSG-430 Respiratory Airway and
Mechanical Ventilation Management Q &
As (Verified Answers) 2026
Artificial Airways: - Correct Answers ✅- Placement of a
tube into the trachea, bypassing the upper airway and
laryngeal structures
- Creates artificial airway
Endotracheal Intubation (ET):
- Via mouth or nose past larynx
Tracheostomy:
- Via stoma in neck
Artificial Airway Indications: - Correct Answers ✅- Upper
airway obstruction (e.g., tumor)
- Apnea
- High risk for aspiration
- Ineffective clearance of secretions
- Respiratory distress

Endotracheal Tube Intubation (ET): - Correct Answers
✅Airway can be secured rapidly
Larger-diameter tube can be used:
- Decreases work of breathing (WOB)
- Easier to remove secretions and perform bronchoscopy
Risks:
- Caution in Head and Neck Trauma (spinal cord injury)
- Difficulty if limited head and neck mobility
- Beware of Teeth can chipped or fall out
- Swallowing difficult
- Biting the tube: bite block
- Mouth care is a challenge
Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI): - Correct Answers ✅-
Rapid, concurrent administration of sedative and paralytic
agents
- Decreases risks of aspiration and injury to patient
- Not indicated for cardiac arrest or difficult airway

- Monitor oxygenation status
ET Intubation Procedure: - Correct Answers ✅1.
PreProcedure: Consent (unless emergent)--Patient teaching
2. Equipment-bag-valve-mask (BVM) attached to oxygen-
Suctioning equipment-IV access
3. Preparation
- Preoxygenate using BVM with 100% O2 for 3 to 5 minutes
- Limit each intubation attempt to less than 30 seconds
- Ventilate between attempts using BVM with 100% O2
Provider Places ET Tube: - Correct Answers ✅Inflate cuff
and confirm placement of ET tube
1. End-tidal CO2 detector
2. Auscultate lungs bilaterally
3. Auscultate epigastrium
4. Observe chest wall movement
5. Monitor SpO2
