1. You are transporting a 3. Structures seen with Class I
traumatic patient who has Mal- lampati assessment
been in the Trau- ma ICU with
significant injuries for 1 week.
He has not developed sep- sis
with the following VS:
BP: 88/55
P: 120 Sinus tach without
ectopy RR: 10
SpO2: 100%
Temperature: 102.1F
ABGs
pH: 7.1
PaCO2:
50mmHg
PaO2: 340
mmHg HCO3:
30mEq/L
What would you expect with
this patient's O2 Hemoglobin
dissocia- tion curve?
2. You are intubating a 54 year
old female who is 5'2" and
weighs 235lbs. While
preforming a mal- lampati
assessment, you notice her
soft palate and major part of
uvula present. You could
classify her as a class:
, Air Methods Critical Care Review Airway Anesthesia and
Analgesics
The curve will be shifted right
II
Soft palete, uvula, fauces, pillars visible
4. Soft Palate, major part of uvula, fauces visible
, Air Methods Critical Care Review Airway Anesthesia and
Analgesics
Structures seen with Class II Mal-
lampati assessment
5. Structures seen with Class III
Soft palate, base of uvula visible
Mal- lampati assessment
6. Structures seen with Class IV
Only hard palate visible
Mal- lampati assessment
7. What can cause a left shift patient who received mass transfusion
in the oxyhemoglobin
dissociation curve? Would shift left due to increased oxygen carrying. ARDS,
ARDS Respiratory acidosis, and sepsis all are associated
A pt. who received mass transfu- with acidosis, lower pH, higher levels of CO2,

9. Which of the following
methods is the least effective
way to confirm endotracheal
tube placement? End Tidal

High-energy electrons go through the electron
transport chain in a series of exe3rgonic redox
reactions. Ultimately used to produce ATP.
