NREMT EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS VERIFIED
Terms in this set (363)
abnormal breaths that begin slow and shallow and
Cheyne-Stokes
gradually get faster and deeper with period of
apnea
Cheyne-Stokes are strokes and head injuries and due to damage of the
associated with respiratory system
-periods of apnea/irregular breaths
high-pitched indicting upper airway obstruction
stridor -can be caused by foreign body or croup
lower respiratory problems like asthma
wheezing usually due to airway narrowing because of swelling
crackles lungs that contain fluid (alveoli contain fluid)
lower airway obstruction from fluid or swelling
rales -popping sound during inhalation from alveoli
from head injuries
Biot's breathing -shallow quick inhalations
Cheyne-stokes--> apnea --> hyperapnea
respiration support chest cage, ribs, intercostal muscles, diaphragm,
structures pleura, phrenic nerve
normal breath sounds are over the lungs
vesticular

normal breath sounds are over the anterior sternum
bronchial
mid hypoxia 91-94%
moderate hypoxia 86-90%
severe hypoxia <85%
piece of foreign material has traveled from another
part of the body and is lodged blocking pulmonary
pulmonary embolism
artery
-arises from a sedentary lifestyle
inhibits flow of air into the stomach, reducing gastric
sellick maneuver distention
-not recommended
unless there is a NO HEIMLICH
complete airway -rather transport and encourage coughing
obstruction
=upper airway obstruction
stridor on inspiration it is a high pitched wheezing sound
stridor on exhalation =lower airway obstruction
increase BP, increase Pulse, vasoconstrictor,
epinephrine bronchodilator, airway relaxes
contraindications for severe head injury with blood coming from nose or
naso airway nasal fracture
epinephrine treats severe allergic reactions OR cardiac arrest
rigor mortis, dependent lividity, unsurvivable injury,
obvious signs of death decomposition of the body
improper restraint can restrict airflow during
positional asphyxia transportation
respiratory alkalosis breathing too fast blows out too much CO2
bronchi--> carina--> crico-thyroid membrane-->
lower--> upper airway epiglottis--> nasopharynx--> mouth
positive when cyanotic
pressure
ventilation is used
