FCCS test
____ is one of the most important indicators of critical illness. - ANS-Metabolic acidosis
____ is one of the most useful tests in an acutely ill patient. - ANS-ABG
____ is the greatest contribution to diagnosis. - ANS-History
____ is the most common cause of airway obstruction. - ANS-Tongue
____ is the single most important indicator of critical illness. - ANS-Tachypnea
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARF) - ANS-Hypoxemic
Adverse Effects of Target Temperature Management - ANS-Neurologic: Shiveringterm-46
Cardiac: Dysrhythmias
Renal: Diuresis and Potassium Shifts
Platelets: Coagulopathy
Skin: Frostbite
Altered Drug Metabolism
After tracheal intubation, significant alterations in hemodynamics should be anticipated. -
ANS-Hypertension and Tachycardia
Although, you can also have Hypotension and decreased CO due to reduced venous return
associated with positive airway pressure.
Airway Evaluation - ANS-Neck Mobility
External Face
Mouth Tongue and Pharynx
Jaw
Alveolar Minute Ventilation - ANS-VA = (VT-VD) x f
Hypercapnea occurs from either decreased VT and/or f or increased VD. Occurs when patient is
unable to sustain minute ventilation
An acute deterioration may seem to occur more abruptly in: young or elderly? - ANS-Young
Biot Respiration (or ataxic breathing) usually indicates - ANS-Severe neuronal damage
Biphasic Defibrillator Level - ANS-200 Joules
Cheyne-Stokes Respiration (or periodic breathing with apnea or hypopnea usually indicates -
ANS-Severe brainstem injury or cardiac dysfunction
Closed chest compressions produce approximately ____ of normal cardiac output. -
ANS-One-third
Compressions (in CPR) should be performed at least ____/min at a depth of ____ inches for
maximal blood flow. - ANS-100/min and 2 inches
Consider Target Temperature Management in patients with initial rhythm of ____ and ____. -
ANS-Ventricular Fibrillation and Pulseless Ventricular Tachycardia
COPD (ARF) - ANS-Mixed
Decompensated CHF (ARF) - ANS-Hypoxemic
