What is the most reliable method of confirming and montioring correct placement of an ET
tube? - ANSWER Continuous waveform capnography
The upper airway consists of... - ANSWER Nose, Mouth, Jaw, Oral Cavity, Pharynx, and
Larynx
No gas exchange occurs here __________, it's called ____________. - ANSWER Nose
to terminal bronchioles, anatomical dead space. (2ml/kg of inspired tidal volume) They
conduct airflow towards gas exchange units.
Crycothyroid membrane - ANSWER between thyroid and cricoid, avascular structure
that connects the thyroid and cricoid cartilage. Site of CRiCOTHYROTOMY- an emergency
opening of the airway.
A PaCO2 greater than 45 mmHg indicates:
A. Metabolic acidosis.
B. Metabolic alkalosis.
C. Respiratory acidosis.
D. Respiratory alkalosis. - ANSWER C. Respiratory acidosis
2
,PaCO2 normal range - ANSWER 35-45 mm Hg Less than 35 likely means
hyperventilation
Tracheal deviation AWAY from the affected side, decreased breath sounds, and
hyperresonance... What's happening? - ANSWER Tension pneumothorax
In a tension pneumothorax tracheal deviation goes in what direction? -
ANSWER AWAY from affected side.
Normal mean pulmonary artery pressure - ANSWER 10-20 mmHg
Pulmonary hypertension is a mean PA pressure greater than... - ANSWER (PAm)
greater than 20
Primary pulmonary hypertension - ANSWER Idiopathic genetic disorder caused by
abnormal structure of the pulmonary blood vessels
Name three causes of secondary pulmonary hypertension.. - ANSWER 1. Passive PH-
the result of back pressure. Mitral Stenosis, LV systolic failure.
2. Active PH- Constriction of the pulmonary circuit Increased volume in pulmonary circuit
(i.e. congenital heart disease)
3. Obstruction as in Chronic recurrent PE
TNP of the Pregnant patient - ANSWER Resuscitation priorities are the same. The best
way to take care of the baby is to take care of mama
Mechanisms of injury and biomechanics the most common cause of maternal injury is... -
ANSWER Blunt trauma caused by MVC. Second is BT caused by falls, 3rd is violence
3
, fetal distress is an early sign of maternal distress... Why? - ANSWER Catecholamine
mediated vasoconstriction resulting from blood loss shunts blood away from the fetus to the
mom.
Fetal hypo perfusion is evidenced by.... - ANSWER Fetal tachycardia (140 to 160+) and
fetal bradycardia
The FRC in a pregnant patient is.... - ANSWER Reduced by the gravid uterus lifting the
diaphragm.
chest tube placement in a pregnant patient is 1-2 spaces higher - ANSWER Because of
the lifted diaphragm
What is the cause of physiological anemia in pregnant patients? -
ANSWER Hemodilitional anemia occurs. Plasma volume increases 30-50%.
Preterm Labor (PTL) - ANSWER
abruptio placentae - ANSWER premature separation of the placenta from the uterine
wall
On a pregnant patient... - ANSWER Chest compressions must be higher on the
sternum.
Any preg patient 20 weeks pregnant or more with a uterus above the umbilicus should have
the uterus left laterally displaced during compressions to avoid aortocaval compression. A 15
degree tilt of the long board or lateral displacement.
What is the Maternal Fetal Triage Index? - ANSWER A valid reliable 5 level triage tool
that may assist in the triage of obstetric trauma patients.
