PARAMEDIC AIRWAY FISDAP 2026 EXAM
COMPLETE (101) CURRENT TESTING
QUESTIONS AND DETAILED CORRECT
ANSWERS|GUARANTEED PASS.
AIRWAY
Prepare with confidence using this Paramedic Airway FISDAP
Exam, designed to assess essential airway management skills in
emergency care. It focuses on airway assessment, ventilation
techniques, oxygen delivery, and advanced airway interventions.
The exam strengthens clinical decision-making in high-pressure
prehospital scenarios. Suitable for paramedic students and EMS
trainees preparing for FISDAP testing.
Consists of all structures above the level of the vocal cords.
The nose, mouth, jaw, oral cavity and pharynx. ✓ ✓ ......
ANSWER ....... Upper Airway
Function is to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. Starts at
the larynx. Spans from the glottis to the pulmonary capillary
membrane. ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... Lower Airway
, Page 2 of 191
Increase the surface area of the nasal mucosa, thereby
improving the processes of warming, filtering and
humidification of inhaled air. ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER .......
Turbinates
Small, horseshoe shaped bone that attaches to the tongue.
✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... Hyoid Bone
Adams apple. Directly anterior to the glottic opening. ✓ ✓
...... ANSWER ....... Thyroid Cartilage
AKA Cricoid Ring, forms the lowest portion of the larynx, and
the first ring of the trachea. ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER .......
Cricoid Cartilage
Site for emergency surgical and nonsurgical access to the
airway. Between the thyroid and cricoid cartilage. ✓ ✓ ......
ANSWER ....... Cricothyroid Membrane
Anatomic space or "pocket" located between the base of the
tongue and the epiglottis. Where the MAC blade goes. ✓ ✓
...... ANSWER ....... Vellecula
, Page 3 of 191
When the airway is stimulated (such as during aspiration of
foreign material or submersion incident), defensive reflexes
cause a spasmodic closure of the vocal cords, which seals
off the airway. ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... Laryngospasm
AKA Windpipe, is the conduit for air entry into the lungs.
Approx 10-12 cm long, & consists of C-Shaped Cartilaginous
rings. Begins immediately below the cricoid cartilage.
Divides into the right and left mainstem bronchi at the level
of the Carina. ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... Trachea
The space between the lungs that contains, in addition to
the trachea, the heart, great vessels, and a portion of the
esophagus. Main thing to know- the heart is housed there.
✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... Mediastinum
Where the right and left mainstem bronchi branch off. ✓ ✓
...... ANSWER ....... Carina
, Page 4 of 191
Mucous producing cells, that are lined in the trachea and
bronchi. They trap small particles and other potential
contaminants. ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... Goblet Cells
Stimulate bronchodilation. ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... Beta-
2 Adrenergic Receptors
Right lung- 3, Left lung- 2. ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... # of
Lobes in each Lung
Thin, slippery, outer membrane covering the lungs. ✓ ✓ ......
ANSWER ....... Visceral pleura
Lines the inside of the thoracic cavity. ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER
....... Parietal Pluera
Made of smooth muscle & lined with beta-2 receptors,
which can dilate and constrict based on stimuli. ✓ ✓ ......
ANSWER ....... Bronchioles
