1. What are some of the congenital conditions associated with difficult airway management?

Explanation

All of the congenital conditions listed (Pierre Robin, Treacher Collins, and Down's Syndrome) are associated with difficult airway management. Pierre Robin is characterized by a small jaw, which can cause the tongue to fall back and obstruct the airway. Treacher Collins is a syndrome that affects the development of facial bones and tissues, leading to potential airway difficulties. Down's Syndrome is associated with several anatomical abnormalities, including a small mouth and large tongue, which can contribute to airway challenges. Therefore, all of these conditions can make airway management more challenging.

Submit
6. Prior to intubating a pt you should...

Explanation

Prior to intubating a patient, it is important to hyperoxygenate them. This involves providing high levels of oxygen to the patient to ensure that their blood is well saturated with oxygen before the procedure. Hyperoxygenation helps to prevent hypoxemia during intubation, which can occur when the patient's oxygen levels drop too low. By hyperoxygenating the patient, the healthcare provider can ensure that there is an adequate oxygen reserve in the patient's body, reducing the risk of complications during the intubation process.

Submit
7.

In the diagram above, what is D?

Explanation

The diagram is likely showing a cross-section of the larynx, which is the part of the throat involved in producing sound. The vestibular fold, also known as the false cords, are located above the vocal cords. They do not directly participate in sound production but help protect the vocal cords and assist in controlling airflow during speech and swallowing. Therefore, D in the diagram is most likely representing the vestibular fold (false cords).

9. Which of the following characterisics may be difficult to mask ventilate?

Explanation

All of the above characteristics may be difficult to mask ventilate. A beard can interfere with the proper seal of the mask, leading to air leakage and difficulty in maintaining adequate ventilation. Edentulous patients (those without teeth) may have a poorly fitting mask due to lack of support from the teeth, resulting in air leakage and difficulty in achieving effective ventilation. CPAP at home indicates that the patient may have an underlying respiratory condition that requires continuous positive airway pressure, which can make mask ventilation challenging as the patient may be dependent on the CPAP machine for adequate ventilation.

Submit
10. What is the Murphy Eye?

Explanation

The Murphy Eye refers to a side vent that is located near the distal end of an endotracheal tube. This vent allows for the passage of air even if the main opening of the tube becomes blocked or occluded. This feature ensures that the patient's airway remains open and allows for the delivery of oxygen or anesthesia during medical procedures.

Submit
11. Which of the following is a risk associated with high pressure ETT cuffs?

Explanation

High pressure ETT cuffs can lead to more ischemic damage to the tracheal mucosa. When the cuff is inflated with high pressure, it can compress the blood vessels in the tracheal wall, reducing blood flow and causing ischemia. This can result in tissue damage and potential complications such as tracheal stenosis or necrosis. It is important to maintain an appropriate cuff pressure to minimize the risk of ischemic damage and ensure patient safety during intubation.

Submit
12. What size ETT would commonly pick for an adult female?

Explanation

An ETT (endotracheal tube) is a device used to secure a patient's airway during anesthesia or in critical care settings. When selecting the size of an ETT for an adult female, a commonly chosen size is 7.5 mm. This size is suitable for most adult females as it allows for proper ventilation and oxygenation while maintaining a secure airway. Sizes such as 8.5 mm may be used for larger individuals, while smaller sizes like 6 mm or 3 mm would typically be too small for an adult female.

Submit

The tongue is a muscular organ located in the mouth that plays a vital role in various functions such as taste, speech, and swallowing. It is responsible for manipulating food during chewing and pushing it towards the throat for swallowing. Therefore, based on the given options and the diagram, the correct answer is the tongue.

Submit
15. How far would you plan to insert an ETT in a 64 yr old woman?

Explanation

An endotracheal tube (ETT) is a tube inserted into the trachea to assist with breathing. The length of the ETT that needs to be inserted depends on the patient's age and gender. In this case, the question specifies that the patient is a 64-year-old woman. The average distance from the vocal cords to the carina (the point where the trachea splits into the bronchi) in an adult woman is around 21 cm. Therefore, to properly insert the ETT in this 64-year-old woman, a length of 21 cm would be appropriate.

Submit
16. A previously healthy male present with an open femur fracture from an MVA and needs to be repaired under GA. He is on a backboard with cervical collar in place. What  should the plan be?

Explanation

The correct answer is to intubate with a technique that does not require neck movement. This is because the patient has an open femur fracture and needs to be repaired under general anesthesia (GA). However, the patient is on a backboard with a cervical collar in place, which restricts neck movement. Therefore, intubating with a technique that does not require neck movement would be the safest approach to avoid further injury to the patient's neck.

Submit
17. According to Dr. Groom’s lecture, what is the MOST reliable way to check ETT placement?

Explanation

The ETCO2 wave form is the most reliable way to check ETT (endotracheal tube) placement. End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) monitoring provides a continuous measurement of carbon dioxide levels in exhaled breath. When the ETT is properly placed in the trachea, the ETCO2 wave form will show a consistent and regular waveform. If the ETT is misplaced in the esophagus or bronchus, the ETCO2 waveform will be absent or irregular. This method is considered more reliable than assessing chest rise, breath sounds, or SaO2 levels for confirming correct ETT placement.

Submit

Submit
31. What method is most reliable in confirming immediate tracheal intubation?

Explanation

ETCO2, or end-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring, is the most reliable method in confirming immediate tracheal intubation. This method measures the concentration of carbon dioxide at the end of each exhaled breath, providing real-time feedback on the placement of the endotracheal tube (ETT). If the ETT is properly placed in the trachea, it will allow for the exhaled carbon dioxide to be detected, indicating successful intubation. This method is considered more reliable than other options such as chest X-ray, fogging of ETT, or visualization of chest rising, as it provides direct and immediate confirmation of tracheal intubation.

Submit
32. What at is an appropriate  intubating dose of Succinylcholine?

Explanation

The appropriate intubating dose of Succinylcholine is 1 - 1.5 mg/kg. This means that for every kilogram of body weight, the patient should receive a dose of Succinylcholine within this range. This dosage is commonly used for rapid sequence intubation to facilitate endotracheal intubation by inducing muscle paralysis. It is important to calculate the dosage based on the patient's weight to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Submit
33. What is the function of the glossopharyngal nerve?

Explanation

The glossopharyngeal nerve is responsible for sensory functions in the posterior tongue, as well as the gag reflex. It carries sensory information from the back of the tongue to the brain and helps trigger the gag reflex, which is a protective mechanism to prevent choking or aspiration. This nerve does not have any motor function related to the cricothyroid muscle or vocal cord movement.

Submit
34. You are looking for an airway adjunct to use on your pt who is very lightly sedated. You have just extubated the pt and they are still having a little trouble keeping the airway clear. You do not want to stimulate the gag reflex. What would be best to use?

Explanation

In this scenario, the patient is lightly sedated and having trouble keeping the airway clear after extubation. The best option would be to use a nasal airway. Nasal airways are used to maintain a patent airway by preventing the tongue from obstructing the pharynx. They are well-suited for patients who are lightly sedated as they do not stimulate the gag reflex like oral airways. Re-intubating the patient until they are more awake would be an invasive and unnecessary procedure. Nasal cannula 2L O2 is used to deliver supplemental oxygen and would not address the issue of maintaining a clear airway.

Submit
35.

Explanation

The given diagram shows various anatomical structures in the neck region. The cricothyroid muscles are a pair of small muscles located between the cricoid and thyroid cartilages of the larynx. These muscles play a crucial role in the control and modulation of vocal pitch. They help in stretching and tensing the vocal cords, allowing for the production of higher-pitched sounds. Therefore, option "Cricothyroid Muscles" is the correct identification in the diagram.

Submit
36.

In the above diagram, what is L?

Explanation

The correct answer is the cricothyroid membrane. The cricothyroid membrane is a thin, elastic structure located between the cricoid cartilage and the thyroid cartilage in the larynx. It plays a crucial role in phonation by connecting the cricoid and thyroid cartilages and allowing for the adjustment of vocal pitch. When the cricothyroid muscle contracts, it stretches the cricothyroid membrane, causing the vocal folds to tighten and vibrate, producing sound. Therefore, the cricothyroid membrane is an essential component of the vocal apparatus.

Submit
37. What is the indication for a Rapid Sequence Induction? (RSI)

Explanation

The indication for a Rapid Sequence Induction (RSI) in this case is that the patient is obese and has a history of GERD. RSI is a technique used to quickly secure the patient's airway in situations where there is a high risk of aspiration, such as in patients with GERD. Obesity can also increase the risk of aspiration and make intubation more challenging. Therefore, in this scenario, the patient's obesity and history of GERD make RSI the appropriate choice to ensure a safe and efficient intubation.

Submit
38. What affect does the administration of Nitrous Oxide have on the volume of the cuff of an inflated endotracheal tube?

Explanation

The administration of Nitrous Oxide inflates the cuff of an inflated endotracheal tube. Nitrous Oxide is a gas that is commonly used as an anesthetic during surgery. When it is administered, it can cause an increase in pressure within the cuff, leading to its inflation. This helps to create a seal between the endotracheal tube and the trachea, preventing any air leakage and ensuring proper ventilation during the procedure.

Submit
39.

In the above diagram, what is I?

Explanation

The diagram represents a human respiratory system. The esophagus is responsible for carrying food to the stomach and is not a part of the respiratory system. Turbinates are bony structures in the nasal cavity that help to filter and humidify the air but are not directly related to the trachea. Vocal cords are located within the larynx and are responsible for producing sound, but they are not the same as the trachea. The trachea, also known as the windpipe, is the tube that connects the larynx to the bronchi and allows air to pass in and out of the lungs. Therefore, the correct answer is Trachea.

Submit
40. What is the function of the recurrent laryngeal nerve?

Explanation

The recurrent laryngeal nerve is responsible for sensory input below the vocal cords, as well as the abduction of the vocal cords. It also provides motor innervation to all the muscles except the cricothyroid muscle.

The cricothyroid ligament plays a crucial role in phonation and voice production.

Submit
45.   For rapid sequence intubation, what is the correct sequence of actions?

Explanation

The correct sequence of actions for rapid sequence intubation is to denitrogenate/oxygenate the patient, followed by giving succinylcholine (STP) and a rapid IV push of a sedative agent at the same time. Then, apply cricoid pressure and proceed to intubate the patient without bag-ventilating. This sequence aims to ensure optimal conditions for intubation while minimizing the risk of aspiration.

Submit
46.

In the above diagram, what is K?

Explanation

The correct answer is Cricoid Cartilage. The cricoid cartilage is a ring-shaped structure located in the lower part of the larynx, just below the thyroid cartilage. It is the only complete ring of cartilage in the larynx and provides support and protection to the vocal cords. The cricoid cartilage also plays a role in regulating the tension of the vocal cords, allowing for changes in pitch and volume during speech and singing.

Submit
47. Identify the patient at risk for aspiration:

Explanation

A patient who has undergone an emergency appendectomy is at risk for aspiration. This is because the surgery may have caused anesthesia or sedation, which can impair the patient's ability to protect their airway and swallow properly. Additionally, the surgical procedure itself may have caused inflammation or trauma to the throat or esophagus, making it difficult for the patient to swallow effectively. Aspiration occurs when food, liquid, or saliva enters the airway instead of going down the esophagus, which can lead to serious complications such as pneumonia.

Submit
48. You are looking for an LMA that will allow you to insert an NGT easily. Which specialized LMA might you pick?

Explanation

The Proseal LMA is a specialized LMA that is designed to provide a secure seal and allow for easy insertion of an NGT (Nasogastric Tube). It features a cuff that inflates to create a seal around the larynx, preventing aspiration. The Proseal LMA also has a gastric access port that allows for easy insertion of an NGT into the stomach. This makes it an ideal choice for the given scenario where the goal is to insert an NGT easily.

Submit
49. Which pt would not be at an increased risk for aspiration?

Explanation

Mrs. Luiz would not be at an increased risk for aspiration because she only had a small sip of water from a dixie cup to take her pills. Aspiration is the inhalation of foreign material into the airways, such as food or liquids, which can lead to lung infections or other complications. In this case, Mrs. Luiz's small sip of water is unlikely to cause aspiration compared to the other options.

Submit
50. Which of the following involves insertion of a needle through the cricothyroid membrane and applying anesthetic directly into airway and onto vocal cords?

Explanation

A transtracheal block involves the insertion of a needle through the cricothyroid membrane and applying anesthetic directly into the airway and onto the vocal cords. This procedure is typically used for anesthesia during certain surgical procedures or to manage pain in the airway. It provides localized anesthesia to the vocal cords and surrounding structures, allowing for effective pain management or anesthesia during procedures involving the airway.

Submit
53. What are criteria for extubating a pt who was very difficult to intubate?

Explanation

The criteria for extubating a patient who was very difficult to intubate include the patient being fully awake and having their protective reflexes intact. This is important to ensure that the patient is able to maintain their own airway and protect against aspiration. It is also recommended to use a jet stylet or fiberoptic scope during the extubation process. This allows for better visualization and control during the procedure. Deep extubation is recommended to prevent the patient from bucking and potentially biting the tube.

Submit
54. What is the proper technique for BMV'ing a pt with a normal airway.

Explanation

The proper technique for BMV'ing a patient with a normal airway involves holding the mask with the left hand using a C formation grip with the thumb and index finger. The other fingers should grasp the mandible and extend the atlantooccipital joint. This technique ensures proper placement and stability of the mask while allowing the patient to spontaneously ventilate.

Submit
55. Which of the following is a technique used to provide oxygenation via a high-pressure delivery system and involves insertion of a large bore IV through the cricothyroid membrane?

Explanation

TTJV stands for Transtracheal Jet Ventilation, which is a technique used to provide oxygenation via a high-pressure delivery system. It involves the insertion of a large bore IV through the cricothyroid membrane, allowing for direct delivery of oxygen into the trachea. This technique is often used in emergency situations where traditional methods of oxygenation are not effective or feasible.

Submit
56. Which nerve is responsible for the sensory, afferent limb of the gag reflex?

Explanation

The correct answer is Glossopharangeal (IX). The glossopharyngeal nerve is responsible for the sensory, afferent limb of the gag reflex. This nerve carries sensory information from the back of the throat and the base of the tongue to the brain. When the back of the throat is stimulated, such as by touching the uvula or the back of the tongue, the glossopharyngeal nerve sends signals to the brain, triggering the gag reflex.

Submit
57. Which one is not an appropriate intervention for a patient experiencing a laryngospasm?

Explanation

Administering a higher amount of sevoflurane is not an appropriate intervention for a patient experiencing a laryngospasm. Sevoflurane is a volatile anesthetic that can induce or worsen laryngospasm. Increasing the concentration of sevoflurane would not help in relieving the laryngospasm and may even exacerbate the condition.

Submit

Explanation

Based on the information provided, the correct answer is Size 4. The size of the LMA chosen for a patient depends on their weight and height. Ms. Bowser weighs 52 kg, which falls within the range for a Size 4 LMA. Additionally, her height of 5'4" does not indicate a need for a smaller or larger size. Therefore, Size 4 is the appropriate choice for Ms. Bowser's minor foot surgery.

Submit
62. Which of the following involves insertion of a 14-18 gauge needle through the cricothyroid membrane and threading a wire cephalad to guide the ETT?

Explanation

Retrograde intubation involves inserting a large gauge needle through the cricothyroid membrane and threading a wire cephalad to guide the endotracheal tube (ETT) into the trachea. This technique is used when traditional intubation methods are difficult or impossible, such as in cases of airway obstruction or limited mouth opening. By inserting the wire from below the vocal cords and then pulling it out through the mouth, the ETT can be guided into the trachea in a reverse direction. This allows for successful intubation even in challenging situations.

Submit
63.

In the above diagram, what is D?

Explanation

The correct answer is Uvula. The uvula is a small, fleshy, cone-shaped structure that hangs down from the soft palate in the back of the throat. It is composed of muscle and connective tissue and is covered by mucous membrane. The uvula helps to prevent food and liquid from entering the nasal cavity by closing off the nasopharynx during swallowing. It also plays a role in speech and the production of certain sounds.

Submit
64. It is now your 3rd time attempting to intubate Mrs. Bennet. You give it one last try and sadly fail. When you go to BMV Mrs. bennet you find you are now unable to BMV her. What should you do now?

Explanation

Since the previous attempts at intubation and bag-mask ventilation (BMV) have failed, the next step should be to attempt inserting a FastTrach LMA or Combitube to assure an airway. These devices are alternative airway management tools that can be used when intubation and BMV are not successful. They provide a secure airway and can be inserted quickly and easily, making them suitable options in this situation. The other options mentioned, such as repositioning, using cricoid pressure, giving more muscle relaxant, using a straight blade and neck hyperflexion, or waking the patient up and canceling the case, may not be appropriate or effective in this scenario.

Submit
66. What is the function of the exterior superior laryngeal nerve?

Explanation

The function of the exterior superior laryngeal nerve is to control the motor movement of the cricothyroid muscle, which is responsible for adducting (closing) the vocal cords.

Submit
67. A 25 year old male is scheduled for an emergency appendectomy. It is assumed that the patient’s stomach is not empty, therefore high risk of aspiration. Which of the following IS NOT a way to reduce the risk of aspiration?

Explanation

Keeping the patient NPO (nothing by mouth) for 6 hours is not a way to reduce the risk of aspiration. While it is important for the patient to have an empty stomach before surgery to reduce the risk of regurgitation and aspiration, simply relying on NPO status for 6 hours may not be sufficient. Other measures such as cricoid pressure during intubation, administration of H2 blockers (to reduce gastric acid secretion), administration of a prokinetic (to promote gastric emptying), and rapid sequence intubation (to minimize the time the patient is at risk for aspiration) are commonly used to further reduce the risk of aspiration during emergency surgeries.

What Mallampati class is this?

Explanation

Mallampati class 1 refers to a patient with a fully visible soft palate, uvula, tonsillar pillars, and the base of the uvula. This indicates that the patient has a good airway and is likely to have easy intubation.

Submit
69. What size LMA should you use on a 9 yr old boy who weighs 46 kg?

Explanation

The correct size LMA to use on a 9-year-old boy who weighs 46 kg is Size 3. The size of the LMA is determined by the weight and age of the patient. In this case, the 9-year-old boy's weight falls within the range for Size 3, making it the appropriate choice.

Submit
70. It is now your second attempt to intubate Mrs. Bennet and you are having no better luck here than the first time around. You fail to intubate. What should your next step be?

Explanation

The correct answer suggests that the next step should be to use a straight blade and neck hyperflexion. This technique can help improve the view of the vocal cords during intubation. Additionally, considering the use of a specialized laryngoscope, such as a fiberoptic scope, can further aid in visualizing the airway and increasing the chances of successful intubation.

Submit
71.

In the diagram above, what is F?

Explanation

The correct answer is Esophagus. The diagram is likely showing a cross-section of the throat or upper respiratory system. The esophagus is the tube that connects the throat to the stomach and is responsible for carrying food and liquids from the mouth to the stomach. The other options, such as the epiglottis, arytenoids, and trachea, are also structures in the throat, but they have different functions and are not directly related to the transportation of food.

Submit
72. What is the function of the internal superior laryngeal nerve?

Explanation

The internal superior laryngeal nerve is responsible for providing sensory innervation between the epiglottis and the vocal cords. It carries sensory information from this area back to the brain. It does not have any motor function and does not innervate any muscles.

Submit
73. You are the SRNA for a hernia repair on Mr. Suresh. 15 years ago Mr. Suresh had a portion of his lower jaw blown off in a shooting accident. It was repaired but he still has multiple scars. His lower jaw is very small, and he has limited mobility due to the accident. He has an old trach scar on his neck as well, since he had a trach for a while after the accident while his jaw was repaired. What is your plan to intubate this pt?

Explanation

The answer "Attempt an awake intubation, in anticipation of a difficult airway" is the most appropriate plan for intubating this patient. The patient has a history of a shooting accident resulting in a small lower jaw, limited mobility, and multiple scars. These factors suggest that intubation may be challenging due to potential airway difficulties. An awake intubation allows for better control and assessment of the airway, ensuring patient safety during the procedure.

Submit
74.

What Mallampati class is this?

Explanation

Mallampati class 3 refers to a specific classification system used to assess the difficulty of intubation in patients. Class 3 indicates that the soft palate and the base of the uvula are visible, while the tonsillar pillars and the pharyngeal walls are not. This suggests that intubation may be moderately difficult in these patients.

Submit
75. What size LMA should you use on a 4 yr old girl who weighs 22 kg?

Explanation

The correct answer is 2.5. In pediatric anesthesia, the size of the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is determined based on the weight of the child. The commonly used formula is weight in kilograms divided by 4 plus 1. Therefore, for a 4-year-old girl weighing 22 kg, the appropriate LMA size would be 5.5 (22/4 + 1). However, since LMA sizes are available in whole numbers, the closest size that can be used is 2.5.

Submit
76. How far would you plan to insert an ETT on a 12 yr old girl?

Explanation

The correct answer is 18 cm. When inserting an endotracheal tube (ETT) in a 12-year-old girl, it is important to consider her age and size. The recommended depth for ETT insertion in children is generally estimated by the formula "age/2 + 12". In this case, half of the girl's age (12/2 = 6) is added to 12, resulting in an estimated depth of 18 cm. This depth ensures proper placement of the ETT in the trachea, allowing for effective ventilation and oxygenation.

Submit
77. Which of the following uses transillumination of the neck to accomplish intubation?

Explanation

The TrachLite uses transillumination of the neck to accomplish intubation. Transillumination is a technique where a light source is used to shine through the tissues, allowing the healthcare provider to visualize the structures underneath. In the case of the TrachLite, it is used to visualize the trachea and guide the placement of the endotracheal tube during intubation. This technique can be particularly useful in difficult intubation cases where traditional methods may be challenging or unsuccessful.

Submit
78. Which of the following is not one of the nerve block performed during an awake intubation?

Explanation

The correct answer is Trigeminal Block. During an awake intubation, various nerve blocks are performed to numb specific areas and prevent pain. The Trigeminal nerve block is not one of these nerve blocks. The Trigeminal nerve is responsible for sensation in the face and is not directly involved in the intubation process. Therefore, it is not necessary to perform a Trigeminal nerve block during an awake intubation.

Submit
79. When extubating a child with a normal airway you would hope to see all of the follwing prior to extubation EXCEPT:

Explanation

Prior to extubation, it is expected to see the child attempting to swallow and cough, the ability to squeeze hand upon request, and the eyes closed with a train of four 3/4 strong twitches. However, it is not expected to see the child bringing their knees to their chest. This movement suggests discomfort or respiratory distress, which would not be ideal prior to extubation.

Submit
80. All of the following are effective ways to decrease the risk for aspiration EXCEPT...

Explanation

Deep extubation refers to the removal of an endotracheal tube while the patient is still under anesthesia and unconscious. This technique is not effective in decreasing the risk for aspiration because it does not address the factors that contribute to aspiration, such as gastric pH or motility. In fact, deep extubation may increase the risk for aspiration as it can lead to inadequate airway protection and the potential for regurgitation of gastric contents. Therefore, deep extubation is the exception among the given options as an effective way to decrease the risk for aspiration.

Submit
81. What is true about LMA’s?

Explanation

All of the LMA's mentioned in the question have a 15 mm connector.

Submit
82. Which is NOT a contraindication of the use of a LMA?

Explanation

The use of a LMA (Laryngeal Mask Airway) is contraindicated in certain situations, but a MAC (Monitored Anesthesia Care) case requiring no neuro-muscular blockade is not one of them. A LMA can be used in this case because it does not require the use of muscle relaxants. In contrast, the other options listed can be contraindications for using a LMA. The lithotomy position may cause airway obstruction, a trauma case requiring fast intubation may require a secure airway with an endotracheal tube, and a patient at 26 weeks gestation may have a higher risk of aspiration, making a LMA unsuitable.

Submit
83. You are the SRNA assigned to Mr. Matisse. He is having a short procedure to remove a sebaceous cyst. He is 5'5" and weighs 173 kg. he also has a past history of GERD. The procedure will be short and requires no neuromuscular blockade. What size LMA should you use?

Explanation

Based on the given information, Mr. Matisse is obese (weighs 173 kg) and has a history of GERD. These factors can increase the risk of aspiration during the procedure. Therefore, it is recommended to use an endotracheal tube (ETT) instead of a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) for this patient. The correct answer suggests using an ETT, which is the appropriate choice in this case to ensure proper airway management and reduce the risk of complications.

Submit
84. What size ETT would you choose for a 10 yr old child?

Explanation

The 6.5 mm size ETT would be chosen for a 10-year-old child. The size of the endotracheal tube (ETT) is determined based on the age, weight, and height of the patient. In this case, a 6.5 mm ETT is appropriate for a 10-year-old child. The ETT should be of an appropriate size to ensure proper ventilation and oxygenation during intubation and to minimize the risk of complications.

Submit
85. You are about to intubate your patient and you put your patients head in the "sniff position". This entails...

Explanation

The "sniff position" in intubation involves aligning the oral, pharyngeal, and laryngeal axis as close to each other as possible. This positioning helps to optimize the visualization of the vocal cords and facilitate the passage of the endotracheal tube into the trachea. By aligning these axes, the airway is straightened, allowing for easier insertion of the tube and reducing the risk of complications during intubation.

Submit
86. How is laryngospasm treated?

Explanation

Succinycholine is a medication that is commonly used to induce muscle relaxation during certain medical procedures. In the case of laryngospasm, where the vocal cords involuntarily close, the administration of succinycholine can help to relax the muscles in the throat and open up the airway. This can alleviate the symptoms of laryngospasm and allow for normal breathing to resume. It is important to note that this medication should only be administered by trained medical professionals.

Submit
87. Which nerve block provides a dense block of the supraglottic region and involves depositing anesthetic above and below the thyrohyoid membrane?

Explanation

The correct answer is Superior Laryngeal nerve block. This nerve block involves depositing anesthetic above and below the thyrohyoid membrane, providing a dense block of the supraglottic region. The other options, such as Trigeminal Block, Transtracheal block, and Glossopharyngeal block, do not specifically target the supraglottic region or involve depositing anesthetic above and below the thyrohyoid membrane.

Submit
88. What size LMA should you use on a 5 month old child who weighs 8 kg?

Explanation

A 5-month-old child who weighs 8 kg would typically require a size 1.5 LMA (Laryngeal Mask Airway). The size of the LMA is determined based on the weight and age of the child to ensure a proper fit and effective airway management during procedures. The size 1.5 LMA is suitable for infants and young children weighing between 5-10 kg, making it the appropriate choice for this specific case.

Submit
89.
What is the most common cause of adverse respiratory events in closed claims reviewed by the ASA?

Explanation

Inadequate ventilation is the most common cause of adverse respiratory events in closed claims reviewed by the ASA. This means that the failure to provide sufficient oxygen or remove carbon dioxide during anesthesia can lead to complications and adverse outcomes. It is important for anesthesiologists to closely monitor and adjust ventilation to ensure proper respiratory function during procedures.

Submit
90. Cricoid pressure prevents against active regurgitation.

Explanation

Submit
91. You are attempting to intubate Mrs. Bennet, a 54 yr old woman coming in for a hysterectomy. You attempt to intubate her and fail, though are still able to BMV. Since this is your first failed attempt what should your next step be?

Explanation

After a failed intubation attempt, the next step should be to reposition the patient, apply cricoid pressure, and consider administering more muscle relaxant. Repositioning the patient may help to improve the laryngeal view and increase the chances of a successful intubation. Cricoid pressure can help to prevent regurgitation and aspiration during intubation. Administering more muscle relaxant can aid in achieving better muscle relaxation and improving intubation conditions. This approach allows for further attempts at intubation while ensuring patient safety.

Submit
92. What is NOT true about Nasopharyngeal airways?

Explanation

The statement "Measure from patient’s lip to ear lobe" is NOT true about Nasopharyngeal airways. Nasopharyngeal airways are measured from the patient's nostril to the earlobe to determine the appropriate size.

Submit
93. Proper tube location can be reconfirmed by palpating the cuff in the…

Explanation

The proper tube location can be reconfirmed by palpating the cuff in the sternal notch. This means that by feeling the tube cuff at the sternal notch, one can ensure that the tube is correctly positioned. The sternal notch is a prominent, easily identifiable landmark on the sternum, making it a reliable location for confirming tube placement.

Submit
94.

In the above diagram, what is G?

Explanation

The correct answer is Epiglottis. The diagram is likely showing the anatomy of the throat, with various structures labeled. The epiglottis is a flap of tissue located at the base of the tongue that prevents food and liquid from entering the windpipe during swallowing. It acts as a protective mechanism to ensure that only food and liquid go down the esophagus and into the stomach, while keeping the airway clear.

Submit
95. You are the SRNA for Mr. Mick who is having a hydrocele removed. This is a short procedure and requires no neuromuscular blockade. He is 6'2" and weighs 105 kg. what size LMA should you choose?

Explanation

Based on the patient's height and weight, a size 6 LMA should be chosen. The size of the LMA is determined by the patient's weight and height, and in this case, a size 6 is appropriate for a patient who is 6'2" and weighs 105 kg.

Submit
96. Which nerve is responsible for the motor, efferent limb of the gag reflex?

Explanation

not-available-via-ai

Submit
97. You are assisting on a D&C for Mrs. Wong who is 5'7" and weighs 75 kg. This is a short procedure with no need for neuromuscular blockade. What size LMA would you choose?

Explanation

Based on Mrs. Wong's height and weight, a size 5 LMA would be the most appropriate choice. The size of the LMA is determined by the patient's weight and height, and a size 5 LMA is typically recommended for patients weighing around 75 kg. Since this is a short procedure and neuromuscular blockade is not required, using a size 5 LMA would provide adequate airway management for Mrs. Wong.

Submit
98. You are attempting to intubate Mr. Parker and after your first failed attempt at intubating him find you are unable to BMV. The patient is in an optimal position yet you still CAN'T  bag mask ventilate. What is your next step?

Explanation

If the patient cannot be bag mask ventilated despite being in an optimal position, the next step would be to insert an LMA (Laryngeal Mask Airway) Combitube. If this is not possible, the next step would be to attempt TTJV (Trans-tracheal Jet Ventilation). These interventions are alternative methods of maintaining ventilation when intubation has failed or is not possible.

Submit
99. What size ETT would you choose for a 3 month old child?

Explanation

A 3.5 mm endotracheal tube (ETT) would be the appropriate size for a 3-month-old child. ETTs are used to secure and maintain an open airway during anesthesia or respiratory distress. The size of the ETT is determined by the age and size of the patient. In this case, a 3.5 mm ETT is recommended as it is suitable for a 3-month-old child. This size ensures proper ventilation and minimizes the risk of complications such as airway obstruction or injury.

Submit
100. A patient who is difficult to intubate is brought to the OR. Optimal conditions were met for intubation (positioning, drugs, difficult airway cart available, etc). After the first failed attempt at intubation, you are allowed to practice your excellent bag-mask ventilation. After a total of three failed intubation attempts, you are now unable to bag-mask ventilate your patient. You reposition the head and still not able to ventilate. Your CRNA/MDA is also not able to effectively bag-mask the patient. What do you expect will be the next course of action?

Explanation

The next course of action would be to perform a surgical airway. This is necessary because the patient is difficult to intubate and cannot be effectively bag-mask ventilated even after repositioning the head. A surgical airway provides a direct and secure route for oxygenation and ventilation when other methods have failed. Blind insertion of an LMA or inserting a nasal airway would not be sufficient in this situation.

Submit
101.

In the above diagram, what is C?

Explanation

C is the correct answer because the diagram shows the location of the tonsils and adenoids. The tonsils are located at the back of the throat, on either side of the uvula. The adenoids are located higher up, behind the nose and roof of the mouth. Both the tonsils and adenoids are part of the immune system and help to fight off infections.

Submit
102. What is the earliest manifestation of bronchial intubation?

Explanation

The earliest manifestation of bronchial intubation is an increase in peak inspiratory pressure. When the endotracheal tube is incorrectly placed in the bronchus instead of the trachea, it can cause air to be delivered to only one lung, leading to an increase in pressure required to inflate that lung. This can be detected by monitoring the peak inspiratory pressure during mechanical ventilation. Decreased Sa02 and increased CO2 levels may occur later as a result of inadequate ventilation, while unequal chest rise may be observed during physical examination but is not as specific as the increase in peak inspiratory pressure.

Submit
103. All of these patients would be indentified as difficult to intubate EXCEPT:

Explanation

Answer B- difficult to mask but not to intubate

Submit
104. How much FGF should be used with an LMA airway?

Explanation

The correct answer is "High, at least 4L/min". This suggests that a high flow rate of at least 4 liters per minute should be used with an LMA airway. This is important for maintaining an adequate supply of fresh gas flow and ensuring sufficient ventilation during the procedure. A higher flow rate helps to prevent rebreathing of exhaled gases and maintain a clear airway.

Submit
105. What are the most commonly used sizes of oral airways?

Submit
106. For RSI, maximum allowable pressure we can bag-ventilate patient is 20cm H2O.

Explanation

The maximum allowable pressure we can bag-ventilate a patient with RSI is not 20cm H2O. The correct answer is False, indicating that the statement is incorrect. The actual maximum allowable pressure for bag-ventilation may vary depending on the specific patient and their condition, but it is generally recommended to keep the pressure below 20cm H2O to avoid potential complications.

Submit
107. Which Patients are  NOT at a higher risk for neck injury during intubation?

Explanation

Osteoarthritic patients are not at a higher risk for neck injury during intubation because osteoarthritis primarily affects the joints, particularly the cartilage, rather than the neck itself. Intubation involves the insertion of a breathing tube through the mouth or nose, which does not directly impact the neck. Therefore, osteoarthritic patients do not have an increased susceptibility to neck injury during this procedure.

Submit
108. What size ETT would you choose for a 10 month old baby?

Explanation

The correct answer is 4.0 - 4.5 mm. This size of endotracheal tube (ETT) is appropriate for a 10-month-old baby. ETTs are used to maintain a clear airway during medical procedures or in cases where a patient is unable to breathe on their own. Choosing the correct size is crucial to ensure proper ventilation and prevent complications. The 4.0 - 4.5 mm size is suitable for a baby of this age, considering their anatomical characteristics and airway requirements.

Submit
109. While extubating a patient that was under general anesthesia the SRNA observes paroxysmal coughing and choking consistent with laryngospasm. Stimulation of what nerve causes this response?

Explanation

The superior(internal) laryngeal nerve is responsible for causing the paroxysmal coughing and choking consistent with laryngospasm during extubation. Laryngospasm is a protective reflex that occurs when the vocal cords close tightly, obstructing the airway. The superior(internal) laryngeal nerve provides sensory innervation to the larynx and plays a role in the cough reflex. Stimulation of this nerve can trigger a laryngospasm response, leading to coughing and choking. The other nerves listed do not have a direct role in causing laryngospasm.
