An expanding ETT cuff in flight is an indication of what gas law?
A. Henry's
B. Dalton's
C. Boyle's

You are transporting a 30 YOM involved in a MCA from an outer lying facility. The 70 kg
patient is on a ventilator with FIO2 1.0, VT 500, Rate 16, PIP 22 and Peep 5. The ABG
results are pH 7.01, pCO2 68, HCO2 12, base deficit - 8, pO2 280. Interpretation of the
blood gas reveals?
A. Mixed disturbance
B. Metabolic acidosis
C. Respiratory acidosis
D. Compensated respiratory acidosis - ANS Mixed disturbance
Metabolic and respiratory acidosis.
The pCO2 is high, resulting in a respiratory acidosis, and the pH and HCO3 are low,
resulting in a metabolic acidosis.
Normal Ranges:
PH: 7.35 - 7.45
pCO2: 35 - 45
HCO3: 22 - 26
pO2: 80 - 100
You notice that your patient has the following waveform and is showing VT on the
monitor. Your initial intervention of the patient is to?
A. Synchronize card overt
B. Advance catheter by inflating the balloon
C. Administer precordial thump
D. Pull catheter back into the right ventricle - ANS Synchronize card overt
Pediatric dose for Epinephrine is? - ANS 0.01 mg/kg (IV)
You arrive on the scene of 21 YOF involved a single roll-over accident who is
approximately 28 weeks pregnant. Your assessment reveals palpation of fetal parts
over the abdomen. What is your diagnosis of the patient?
, Abruption placenta - ANS dark red, painful
Placenta prevail - ANS red, painless
Terbutaline dose - ANS 0.25 (SQ)
Define postpartum hemorrhage - ANS over 500 mL
Uterine rupture - ANS Fetal parts can be palpated over abdomen
Your IABP begins to purge during ascent. The triggering mechanism for this function
was initiated as a result of which gas law?
A. Boyle's law
B. Gay-Lussac's law
C. Charles' law
D. Henry's law - ANS Boyle's law
Beta-blockers are contraindicated with?
A. Narcotic overdose
B. TCA overdose
C. Cocaine overdose
D. Aspirin overdose - ANS Cocaine overdose
The pediatric patient may be pre-treated with which medication prior to administering
Anatine?
A. Intimidate
B. Atropine
C. Vasopressin
D. Vecuronium - ANS Atropine
How should your flight suit fit to provide space of insulation per CAMTS
recommendations?
A. ½ inch
B. 1 inch
C. Skin tight so I look really hot for the firefighters on scene
D. ¼ inch - ANS ¼ inch
The uniform should fit to allow 0.25 in. (1/4 in.) of air space between the suit and
undergarments
You are beginning to prepare for landing and you have news reporter riding along for
the day. You see a high-rise tower at 1100 high. Sterile cockpit applies how?
A. The news reporter can speak anytime during the flight
