Nasopharyngeal airway - ✔✔When tongue is obstructing airway. Tube is lubricated
and passed through the nose into nasal cavity. Sits in oropharynx behind tongue. Well
tolerated and can be used on awake pts.
Oropharyngeal airway - ✔✔Also placed to position tongue in more anterior position.
Often interfere with intra oral procedures. Not tolerated well with awake pts.
Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) - ✔✔Device that sits over top of larynx. Can be placed
blindly. Does not protect against aspiration. Inflated with 30cc to create seal.
Endotracheal intubation - ✔✔End of tube passes through vocal cords and terminates
half way between vocal cords and bifurcation of trachea. Important to listen to both
lungs after placement. May or May not be cuffed.
Combitube - ✔✔Generally used for specific emergencies. Both cuffs inflated.

Bronchospasm - ✔✔Generalized contraction of smooth muscles of small bronchi and
bronchioles in lungs causing restriction of air flow of air to and from lungs.
Maximum dose of epi for healthy pt - ✔✔.2mg
Liver - ✔✔Protein and lipid synthesis, bio transformation, detoxification and storage of
vitamin A, E, D, K, and B12.
Causes of seizures - ✔✔Liver failure, renal failure, sickle cell disease, brain tumor,
meningitis, previous stroke and hypo-hyperglycemia.

depacon
Main function of kidneys - ✔✔Maintain volume and composition of body fluids. Body's
main source of filtration and excrete metabolic end products and toxins.

balance and carb metabolism.

48%. Anything below 35% considered anemic.
Mental artery - ✔✔Supplies blood to chin.
Ischemia - ✔✔Reduced blood flow in coronary arteries. Lack of oxygen to heart cells
weakens, but does not kill them.
Maxillary artery - ✔✔Supplies blood to maxilla, teeth, sinuses, and portion of nose.
Medulla oblongata - ✔✔Coordinating region for impulses. The seat of many autonomic
centers.
Normal levels of hemoglobin - ✔✔Males: 13-18 mg/dL
Females: 14-16 mg/dL
