    Careful attention to ensure the proper placement is critical why?

    • Intratracheal placement may cause a complete airway obstruction.

    • There are no complications

    • The patient may have injested a caustic substance

    • To be extra sure

    Correct Answer
    A. Intratracheal placement may cause a complete airway obstruction.
    Explanation
    Careful attention to ensure the proper placement is critical because intratracheal placement can lead to a complete airway obstruction. This means that the airway can become completely blocked, preventing the patient from breathing properly. This can be a life-threatening situation and requires immediate intervention. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that the placement is correct to avoid this complication and ensure the patient's safety.

    Before inserting the king airway you

    • Test the cuff inflation system for air leak

    • Test the cuff inflation system for air leak then apply water soluable lubricant to the distal cuff

    • Test the cuff inflation system for air leak and lubricare the whole thing

    • Make sure the pt is over 3ft tall

    Correct Answer
    A. Test the cuff inflation system for air leak then apply water soluable lubricant to the distal cuff
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to test the cuff inflation system for air leak then apply water soluble lubricant to the distal cuff. This sequence of actions ensures that the cuff inflation system is functioning properly before inserting the king airway. Testing for air leaks helps to ensure that the cuff will effectively seal the airway, and applying lubricant to the distal cuff helps to ease the insertion process and minimize discomfort for the patient.

This is necessary to clear any secretions or obstructions that may be present and could potentially cause airway obstruction or complications during removal. Additionally, fully deflating both cuffs before removing the KingLT-D device is necessary to ensure a smooth and safe removal process without causing any damage or discomfort to the patient. Therefore, the correct answer is both A and B.

    • Untill the base of the connector is alighned with the teeth or gums.

    Correct Answer
    A. Untill the base of the connector is alighned with the teeth or gums.
    Explanation
    The tube should be advanced until the base of the connector is aligned with the teeth or gums. This is important because it ensures that the tube is inserted to the correct depth and allows for proper inflation of the cuffs. Aligning the base of the connector with the teeth or gums helps to ensure that the tube is in the correct position to provide effective ventilation and chest rise.

It is not dependent on the patient's height and can be used in patients of any height. The other options listed are contraindications to the king airway. Responsive patients with an intact gag reflex may not require an advanced airway intervention. Patients with known esophageal disease may have an increased risk of complications. Patients who have ingested caustic substances may have airway swelling and should be managed differently.
