CAMATA STUDY GUIDE 2025/2026 QUESTIONS WITH
SOLUTIONS RATED A+
✔✔> 20,000ft = what stage of hypoxia - ✔✔critical
✔✔hypoxic hypoxia - ✔✔reduced gas exchange at alveolar/capillary level (altitude)
✔✔hypemic hyoxia (anemic) - ✔✔reduced 02 carrying capacity of blood (hemorrhage)
✔✔stagnant hypoxia - ✔✔reduced 02 delivery to tissues (shock)
✔✔histotoxic hypoxia - ✔✔inability to use 02 at tissue level (c02 poisoning, some ODs)
✔✔4 forces on an aircraft - ✔✔lift, drag, thrust, weight
✔✔ Best mode of patient transport >200km? - ✔✔fixed wing
✔✔As plane ascends, what happens to temp. and atmospheric pressure? -
✔✔decrease in temp/atmospheric pressure
✔✔"physiological zone" - ✔✔sea level to approx. 10,000ft.
✔✔Atmosphere composition - ✔✔78% Nitrogen , 21% Oxygen, 1% Others
✔✔Atmospheric pressure - ✔✔760 mmHg
✔✔The pressure exerted against an object or a person by the atmosphere? -
✔✔Barometric pressure
✔✔"Efficient zone" - ✔✔sea level to 10,000ft
✔✔"Deficient zone" - ✔✔10,000 - 50,000ft - human body cannot tolerate
✔✔"Space equivalent zone" - ✔✔above 50,000ft
✔✔Armstrong's Line - ✔✔63,000ft - 47mmHg pressure - boiling point is body
temperature = blood will boil
✔✔Pressure at 10,000ft - ✔✔523 mmHg
✔✔Boyle's Law - ✔✔the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure if the
temperature remains constant
(P1V1 = P2V2)
