A patient who ingested an entire bottle of acetaminophen (Tylenol) is now complaining of right
upper quadrant pain. Based on the presentation, when did this patient most likely ingest this drug? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Within the last 24-72 hours
A patient complaining of chest pain was noted to have a drop in their blood pressure after
administration of nitroglycerin. The patient is diaphoretic and complaining of pain as 10/10. A 12-
lead ECG reveals ST elevation in leads III, and aVF, and reciprocal changes noted predominantly in
lead aVL. What type of myocardial infarction (MI) is suspected? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Inferior wall MI
FHR sinusoidal pattern -
CORRECT|ANSWER
A sinusoidal pattern can occur due to significant anemia and severe fetal distress. During
contraction, the heart rate will not rise concurrently. Oxygen carrying capacity is deficient, and
hypoxia ensues. Emergent C-section is the treatment of choice.
Serum osmolality -
CORRECT|ANSWER
measure of the balance between water (plasma) and the solutes dissolved in it. It is an indicator
showing dehydration or overhydration. Normal is 275-295 mOsm/kg. Elevated levels occur in the
presence of dehydration. All other instances would cause a decrease in the serum osmolality level.
A 16-year-old sustained an aortic arch tear during a motor vehicle collision, which is commonly
associated with which of the following? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Acceleration/deceleration injury
,All intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) systems use helium as the driving gas because of which of the
following characteristics? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Low density
What is the formula for determining a mean arterial pressure (MAP)? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
MAP = [SBP + (2 x DBP)] / 3
The primary treatment in reversing malignant hyperthermia is what medication? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Dantrolene
The following situations would require an asthmatic patient to be intubated and mechanically
ventilated -
CORRECT|ANSWER
A decline in the level of consciousness, Respiratory acidosis, Hypoventilation secondary to muscle
fatigue
A patient has sustained significant head, chest and abdominal trauma from a motor vehicle collision.
They have received five units of packed red blood cells thus far. They continue to bleed profusely
from all wounds despite direct pressure to control bleeding secondary to suspected disseminated
intravascular coagulation (DIC). What treatment do you expect to administer? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Platelets, cryoprecipitate and fresh frozen plasma
What protective clothing does CAMTS require that is pertinent to safe operations? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Boots
Fractures of the 1st-3rd ribs should indicate a high index of suspicion for which injury? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Aortic disruption
, The patient suffering from Brown-Sequard syndrome presents with what? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
ipsilateral paralysis below the level of the lesion, positive Babinski sign ipsilateral to the lesion,
ipsilateral loss of tactile discrimination, vibratory, and position sensation below the level of the
lesion, and contralateral loss of pain and temperature sensation.
Identify the medication with bronchodilating properties. -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Ketamine
A patient who sustained extensive electrical burns is being transferred. Upon entering the room,
there is brown urine noted in the foley bag, and myoglobinuria on the urinalysis. To prevent the
development of acute tubular necrosis and further renal failure, what is the anticipated treatment? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Lactated Ringer's, sodium bicarbonate, and mannitol
The flight crew's shift just began and they received in briefing that they have marginal visual flight
rules (VFR) weather. Approximately two hours later, they are toned for a scene flight. They are given
a distance and heading of 20 miles and 280 degrees. The pilot says that the current weather
conditions are 800' and 1 mile. What is the best response? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Decline the flight because this is lower than the FAA local VFR weather minimums
While transporting a patient in the back of an ambulance using lights and sirens, what is the biggest
danger to the crew, and the patient, during the transport? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Intersections
The team is called to transport a patient who underwent a heart transplant approximately eight
hours ago. Upon assessment, they are noted to be pale, cool, and clammy to the touch. They appear
anxious but are alert and awake. Assessment reveals jugular vein distention and diffuse crackles
throughout both lungs. Current vitals: BP 96/56, HR 124, RR 28, SpO2 97% on oxygen at 3LPM via
nasal cannula. Which of the following medications would be beneficial for this patient? -
