Exam Questions and Verified Answers |
Already Graded A+
Potential effects of orotracheal intubation. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Secure airway,
Protection against aspiration. Bleeding, hypoxia laryngeal swelling,
laryngospasms, vocal cord, mucosal necrosis, barotrauma.
Potential effects of moving an intubated patient. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔With a firmly
secured tube the tip of the ET tube can move as much as 2 inches with head flexion
and extension; with hyperflexion the tube can be pulled from the trachea
completely. Hyperextension can cause the ET tube to be pushed further into the
trachea. Consider C-collar to keep the head in neutral position.
When to exubate a patient? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Patients are rarely extubated in the
prehospital setting. The only reason to consider extubation is if the patient is
extremely intolerant of it or the ET tube is placed incorrectly. (Extremely
combative, gagging or retching). It is typically safer to sedate the patient rather

,than extubate. Before performing field extubation, you should contact medical
control or follow local protocols.
Potential effects of overinflation of the distal cuff. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Overinflation
of the distal cuff may cause tissue necrosis of the tracheal wall.
Indications for airway suctioning. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔When the patient's mouth or
throat becomes filled with vomit, blood or secretions. Audible gurgling.
Gold standard for successful intubation. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The gold standard is
endotracheal intubation; Gold standard for evidence of successful intubation is in-
line capnography.
Indications for direct laryngoscopy and magill forceps. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔If you
are unable relieve a severe airway obstruction in an unresponsive patient with basic
techniques.
Have Magill forceps available should you need to guide the ET tube between the
vocal cords or if you encounter a foreign body obstruction during laryngoscopy.

, Potential complications of endotracheal intubation. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Bleeding,
hypoxia, laryngeal swelling, laryngospasm, vocal cord damage, mucosal necrosis,
and barotrauma.
Anatomical place of a Miller blade. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The straight laryngoscope
blade (Miller) is designed so that its tip will extend beneath the epiglottis and
directly lift it up.
Anatomical placement of a Macintosh blade. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Curve of blade
conforms to tongue and pharynx. The tip of the blade is placed in the vallecula.
Indications for nasotracheal intubation. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Nasotracheal intubation
is indicated for patients who are breathing spontaneously but require definitive
airway management to prevent further deterioration of their condition. Responsive
patients and patients with an altered mental status and an intact gag reflex who are
in respiratory failure because of conditions such as COPD, asthma, or pulmonary
edema.
Volume of the distal cuff of a endotracheal tube. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔5-10 mL
Correct tube placement confirmation. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔1. Visualizing the the ET
tube passing between the vocal cords.
2. Equal and bilateral lung sounds.
