CAMATA FINAL (SAIT ACP) EXAM QUIZZES & ANS!!
Best mode of patient transport >200km? - -fixed wing

-As plane ascends, what happens to temp. and atmospheric pressure? - -decrease in
temp/atmospheric pressure

-"physiological zone" - -sea level to approx. 10,000ft.

-Atmosphere composition - -78% Nitrogen , 21% Oxygen, 1% Others

-Atmospheric pressure - -760 mmHg

-The pressure exerted against an object or a person by the atmosphere? - -Barometric
pressure

-"Efficient zone" - -sea level to 10,000ft

-"Deficient zone" - -10,000 - 50,000ft - human body cannot tolerate

-"Space equivalent zone" - -above 50,000ft

-Armstrong's Line - -63,000ft - 47mmHg pressure - boiling point is body temperature =
blood will boil

-Pressure at 10,000ft - -523 mmHg

-Boyle's Law - -the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure if the
temperature remains constant
(P1V1 = P2V2)

-Dalton's Law - -The total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the individual
pressures (Ptotal= P1+P2+P3...)

-Charles's Law - -volume of a gas is proportional to its absolute temperature when
pressure and mass are constant

-Henry's Law - -amount of gas in a solution directly relates to the pressure the gas has
over the solution

-External inspiration is influenced by which law? - -Graham's law

-GHOSTBAN (flight stressors) - -G-forces
Humidity/hyperventilation
Oxygen
