JBL AIRWAY PRACTICE PAPER 2026 QUESTION
SERIES MASTERED
◉ Agonal gasps. Answer: Occasional, gasping breaths that occur
agter the heart has stopped
◉ Airway. Answer: The upper airway tract or the passage above the
larynx, which include the nose, mouth and throat.
◉ Alveolar Minute Volume. Answer: The volume of air moved
through the lungs in 1 minute minus dead space; calculated by
multiplying the tidal volume and resp. rate
◉ Alveolar Ventilation. Answer: Volume of air that reaches the
alveoli. It is determined by subtracting the amount of dead space air
from the tidal volume
◉ American Standard Safety System. Answer: A safety system for
large oxygen cylinders, designed to prevent the accidental
attachment of regulator to a cylinder containing the wrong type of
gas.
◉ Anaerobic Metabolism. Answer: metabolism that takes place in
the absence of oxygen; principle by product is lactic acid.
,◉ Apnea. Answer: absence of spontaneous breathing
◉ Aspirations. Answer: the introduction of vomitus or other foreign
material into the lungs
◉ Ataxic Respirations. Answer: Irregular, ineffective respirations
that may or may not have an identifiable pattern
◉ Automatic Transport Ventilator (ATV). Answer: Ventilation device
attached to a control box that allows the variables of ventilation to
be set. It frees the EMT to perform other tasks while the patient is
being ventilated
◉ Bag-valve Mask (BVM). Answer: device with one way valve and a
face mask attached to a ventilation bag; when attached to a reservoir
and connected to oxygen, it delivers more than 90% supplemental
oxygen
◉ Barrier device. Answer: a protective item such as a pocket mask
with a valve, that limits exposure to a patient's body fluids
◉ Bilateral. Answer: A body part or condition that appears on both
sides of the midline
, ◉ Bronchioles. Answer: Subdivision of the smaller bronchi in the
lungs; made of smooth muscle and dilate or constrict in response to
various stimuli
◉ Copnography. Answer: a noninvasive method to quickly and
efficiently provide information on a patient's ventilatory status,
circulation and metabolism. Effectively measures the concentration
of CO2 in expired over time
◉ Capnometry. Answer: A device that measures the amount of
expired CO2, capnometer
◉ Carina. Answer: point at which the trachea bifurcates into the left
and right mainstem bronchi
◉ Chemoreceptors. Answer: monitor the levels of O2, CO2, and the
pH of the cerbrospinal fluid and then provide feed back to the resp.
centers to modify the rate and depth of breathing based on the
body's needs
◉ Compliance. Answer: Ability of the alveoli to expand when air is
drawn in during inhalation
