_____ May be used to facilitate nasotracheal intubation - Endotrol tube A drop in BP greater then 10 torr during inspiration is called - Pulsusparadoxus A fine, bubbling sound heard on inspiration and associated with fluid in the alveoli and terminal bronchioles is called: - rales (crackles). A peak flow meter measures - Respiratory efficacy during forced expiration A portable suction device should generate a flow rate of ______ liters per minute when the tube is open. - 30 A technique for RSI intubation by passing a wire through the criocothyroid membrane cephalad through a catheter is called: - Retrograde intubation Advantages of a nasopharyngeal airway include all of the following, EXCEPT: - it isolates the trachea. Advantages of an NPA include: It can be inserted with an intact gag reflex. It can be suctioned through. It can be placed blindly and safely. It does not, however, isolate the trachea. Advantages of a pediatric nasopharyngeal airway include all of the following, EXCEPT: - It isolates the trachea. Advantages of a pediatric NPA include: It can be inserted with an intact gag reflex. It can be suctioned through. It can be placed blindly and safely. It does not, however, isolate the trachea.
