Airway Fisdap Questions
Just because a patient is attempting to breathe against a partially occluded airway, if they do NOT move
enough air to reach the alveoli, what secondary complication might they experience? - Hypoxia or
Hypercapnia
During cellular respiration and metabolism, there is constant production of acidic waste products such as
hydrogen. How does the body initially manage this acid? - Hydrogen is converted into carbonic
acid and later into CO2 and H2O
A 53 year old male is sleepy, diaphoretic, difficult to arouse and breathing 8 times a minute. What do you
suspect? - Respiratory failure
A 67 year old male complains of mild respiratory distress. He smokes 4 packs of cigarettes a day and
reports a consistent cough and frequent respiratory infections. Chest sounds reveal bilateral rhonchi.
What should you suspect? - Chronic bronchitis
EXPLANATION: chronic bronchitis is long term inflammation of the bronchioles. Excessive mucus and pus
production leads to obstructed airways. the consistent cough is the body's response to clear the airway
obstruction
A child's metabolic rate and limited oxygen reserves will cause what detrimental effect to occur more
quickly in a child patient than in an adult patient during periods of hypoventilation? - Hypoxia
A febrile 44 year old male complains of shortness of breath and has dull chest pain. he has been
coughing up "rusty" sputum for the last 3 days. what is the most likely cause? - Pneumonia
EXPLANATION: Pneumonia is an infection of the lung tissue and the "rusty" sputum (spit) is a sign of a
lower airway infection. He is febrile (has a fever) from an immune response to the infection, and the
"dull" chest pain is a common symptom at the location of the infection.
A harsh, high-pitched sound heard during inspiration, characteristic of an upper airway obstruction due
to swelling, is called: - The patient's skin is pale and clammy
, An inadequate amount of oxygen being delivered to the cells is called: - Hypoxia
An infant who is conscious with a pulse has an obstructed airway, the EMT should: - Alternate
back blows and chest thrusts
An unresponsive 43 year old male is cool, pale, diaphoretic, and breathing 6 times a minute. which
device should you use to administer oxygen? - Bag-valve mask
EXPLANATION: He is unresponsive and breathing too slow. This is a "sick" patient and assisting his
ventilation should be the first intervention. You can increase his respiratory rate with a bag-valve mask.
A 42 year old male complains of shortness of breath after being sprayed with super-heated steam. He
has burns to his face, neck and upper chest. Vitals signs are BP 112/66, P 124, R 26 shallow and labored.
What should you do? - Assists his ventilations
As brain cells start to become initially hypoxic, what is a common CNS response? - Restlessness
and agitation
As compared to infants, what response do adults typically display as they initially start to become
hypoxic? - The heart rate increases
Blood, vomitus, or other substances that occlude the nasopharynx may drain and lead to: - Airway
occlusion
Compared to the adult patient, an infant's ventilation rate is: - Faster and with a lower tidal
volume
diaphoretic - Characterized by profuse sweating.
External respiration is best described as the: - Exchange of gases between the alveoli and the
surrounding capillary bed
