FISDAP airway, ventilation, and
respiratory questions and answers
already passed
What are the adult ventilation rates and adequate volumes? ✔✔12-20 breaths per minute, 120/80
BP, O2 Stat of greater than 95%
What are the complications of hyperventilation? ✔✔Leads to carbon dioxide blow off, which
causes vasoconstriction, and limits blood flow to the brain
What is dyspnea? ✔✔difficulty breathing
What is nocturnal dyspnea? ✔✔Difficulty breathing after sleep or while asleep
Lung sounds usually heard usually during asthma, COPD, emphysema, and Chronic Bronchitis /
high pitched ✔✔Wheezes
Lung sounds caused by fluid in the alveoli / sounds like bubbles ✔✔Crackles
, Lung sound due to a obstruction / high pitched on inspiration ✔✔Stridor
Lung sounds due to secretions in larger airways / Lower pitched ✔✔Rhonchi
Condition of excessive fluid buildup in the lungs and/or other organs because of inadequate
pumping of the heart ✔✔Congestive heart failure
Emphysema, chronic bronchitis, black lung, and respiratory illnesses are classified as ✔✔COPD
/ Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Air from the chest cavity is prevented from escaping, usually during closed chest injuries and
caused by rub on internal surfaces ✔✔Tension pneumothorax
Tachycardia is? ✔✔High heart rate
Bradycardia is? ✔✔Low heart rate
What is hyperventilation? ✔✔Increased depth and rate of breathing
