1. Pulmonary artery: One of two arteries that carry venous (oxygen poor) blood
from heart to lungs
2. What type of intubation is preferred with emesis with aspiration?: ETT. LMA
or combitube acceptable.
3. What emergency would a cricothyrotomy typically be performed?: Airway
obstruction
4. Atropine would be given in which emergency?: Symptomatic bradycardia
5. Adenosine would be given in which emergency?: SVT
6. Amiodarone would be given in which emergency?: V. Tach
7. What medications can be given for a sever case of hyperventilation?: -
Versed, Valium, or Propofol
8. PVC's are treated with which medicine?: Lidocaine
9. Epi is given in which two emergencies?: V. Fib and asystole
10. Max dose of epi for cardiovascular disease pt: .04mg
11. A beta blocker would be given in which emergency?: Hypertension
12. A fluid bolus of NS and ephedrine can be given with what emergency?: -
Hypotension
13. What medications are used to treat malignant hypothermia?: Dantrolene, IV
cold saline (not Ringer's)
14. Nasopharyngeal airway: When tongue is obstructing airway. Tube is lubricated
and passed through the nose into nasal cavity. Sits in oropharynx behind tongue.
Well tolerated and can be used on awake pts.
15. Oropharyngeal airway: Also placed to position tongue in more anterior position.
Often interfere with intra oral procedures. Not tolerated well with awake pts.
16. Laryngeal mask airway (LMA): Device that sits over top of larynx. Can be
placed blindly. Does not protect against aspiration. Inflated with 30cc to create seal.
17. Endotracheal intubation: End of tube passes through vocal cords and termi-
nates half way between vocal cords and bifurcation of trachea. Important to listen to
both lungs after placement. May or May not be cuffed.
18. Combitube: Generally used for specific emergencies. Both cuffs inflated.
19. Pts predisposed to bronchospasm: Allergies, asthma, copd, bronchitis
20. Bronchospasm: Generalized contraction of smooth muscles of small bronchi
and bronchioles in lungs causing restriction of air flow of air to and from lungs.
21. Maximum dose of epi for healthy pt: .2mg
22. Liver: Protein and lipid synthesis, bio transformation, detoxification and storage
of vitamin A, E, D, K, and B12.
23. Causes of seizures: Liver failure, renal failure, sickle cell disease, brain tumor,
meningitis, previous stroke and hypo-hyperglycemia.

24. Medications to treat seizures: Tegretol, Klonopin, Neurontin, luminal, Dilantin,
depacon
25. Main function of kidneys: Maintain volume and composition of body fluids.
Body's main source of filtration and excrete metabolic end products and toxins.
26. Islets of langerhans: Located in pancreas. Secrete insulin and glucagon. In-
sulin helps the body store sugar to keep glucose levels in a steady state.
27. Adrenal glands: Secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine. Controls electrolyte
balance and carb metabolism.
28. Thyroid: Regulates body's basal metabolic rate.
29. Pterygoid plexus: Network of veins corresponding to 2nd and 3rd parts of
maxillary artery
30. Olfactory nerve: 1st cranial nerve that controls smell
31. Optic nerve: 2nd cranial nerve that controls sight
32. Internal jugular vein: Drains much of blood from head and neck
33. Purkinje fiber system: Causes muscles of heart to contract. Spreads impulse
rapidly along heart muscle.
34. Brachiocephalic artery: Branches into right common carotid in neck and right
subclavian artery in arm.
35. Hematocrit: % blood volume made up of red blood cells. Men: 42-52% women:
37-48%. Anything below 35% considered anemic.
36. Mental artery: Supplies blood to chin.
37. Ischemia: Reduced blood flow in coronary arteries. Lack of oxygen to heart cells
weakens, but does not kill them.
38. Maxillary artery: Supplies blood to maxilla, teeth, sinuses, and portion of nose.
39. Medulla oblongata: Coordinating region for impulses. The seat of many auto-
nomic centers.
40. Normal levels of hemoglobin: Males: 13-18 mg/dL
Females: 14-16 mg/dL
41. Oropharynx: Located between soft palate and epiglottis.
42. Facial nerve: 7th cranial nerve. Supplies motor fibers to muscles of facial
expression.
43. Trigeminal nerve: 5th cranial nerve. Supplies sensation to teeth and jaws.
44. Vagus nerve: 10th cranial nerve. Supplies fibers to many parts of body. (Ears,
tongue, pharynx, larynx, thoracic/abdominal viscera).
45. Pulmonary veins: Return oxygenated blood to left atrium from lungs. Only veins
that carry oxygenated blood.
46. Superior vena cava: Drains head, neck, and upper extremities into right atrium.
47. Adrenal glad: Secretes epinephrine, norepinephrine, and corticosteroids.
48. Ectopic focus: Displaced central point of origin for cardiac dysrhythmias.
